Abstract
In this work, we study the effect of an applied ac gate voltage on the spin filtering and pumping properties of a lateral double quantum dot, in the Coulomb blockade and weak coupling regimes, considering not only the effect of the ac potential on the inter‐dot tunneling but also on the tunneling through the leads. This last effect accounts for additional photon absorption and emission processes and therefore affects the spin polarization of the pumped current. In particular, we find that the spin down filtering property can be affected depending on the intensity of the ac field. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

In a numerical simulation we demonstrate spin readout by using photon assisted tunneling (PAT). We are using a realistic double quantum dot design including a micro-magnet. The micro-magnet generates different Zeeman fields between the two dots. If the photon frequency matches the energy difference
Photon-assisted AC transport through coherently driven mesoscopic systems has been studied by employing a transfer-matrix method. For a driven double-barrier system as a simple model of a quantum dot, we show that the AC current due to quantum interference between di erent sideband states depends on
We describe photon assisted tunneling (PAT) in single and coupled quantum dot systems which have a relatively large zero-dimensional (0D) level separation. A microwave electric field applied across the tunneling barrier leads to the formation of a sideband structure. For a single quantum dot system,
