Negative tunneling magneto-resistance in spin-polarized transport across carbon nanotubes — •Sonja Koller1, Jens Paaske2, and Milena Grifoni11Universität Regensburg — 2Nano-Science Center, University of Copenhagen

From experiments on carbon nanotube single electron transistors with ferromagnetic, collinearly polarized leads, it is known that the tunneling magneto-resistance (a measure for the ratio of current in the parallel to current in the anti-parallel contact configuration) exhibits a strong dependence on the gate voltage. In particular, for certain gate regions, the anti-parallel current can even exeed the parallel one, leading to negative values of the tunneling magneto-resistance. The origin of this effect are tunneling induced level shifts, that we are able to calculate theoretically within a diagrammatic perturbation approach to transport across quantum dots, by inclusion and summation of certain diagram types to all orders. A qualitative agreement with the experiment is obtained.
