Interference spin-blockade in symmetric nanojunctions — •Andrea Donarini, Georg Begemann, and Milena Grifoni — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg

Nanojunctions with a high degree of spatial symmtry, like molecular junctions, but also specially designed multiple quantum dot structures, have a degenerate many body spectrum. The degeneracy is in fact protected by symmetry. The interference between the degenerate states causes a novel current blocking mechanism that allows, in presence of polarized leads, the all electric control of the spin and orbital degree of freedom on the junction. We present here a general formalism to give necessary and sufficient conditions for interference blockade. As an example we analyze a triple dot single electron transistor (SET) [1]. In particular, we show how to prepare the system in each of the three spin states of the excited 2-electrons triplet state without application of any external magnetic field.
