✦ Synopsis

We theoretically investigate the spin accumulation in two parallel coupled quantum dots (QDs) with ferromagnetic and superconducting electrodes. Due to the ferromagnetic lead, the spin accumulation appears on the resonance of Andreev reflection. The spin accumulation in each of the two QDs can be controlled by the gate voltage. The sign of the spin accumulation is also controllable by tuning the bias. Furthermore, tuning the magnetic flux can exchange the amplitude of the spin accumulation in the two QDs. The Aharonov-Bohm oscillation effects also provides a way to control the spin accumulation of each QD.

Non-equilibrium Green's function technique has been used to calculate spin-dependent electronic transport through a quantum dot in the Kondo regime. The dot is described by the Anderson Hamiltonian and is coupled symmetrically to two ferromagnetic leads, whose magnetic moments are noncollinear. It i

The spin accumulation in a single quantum dot (QD) ring is investigated in the presence of both a magnetic flux penetrating though it and the Rashba spin-orbital (RSO) interaction. The RSO interaction, which is assumed to exist only in the QD and other regions are free from it, induces a spin-depend
