Electron-vibron coupling in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate the electron-vibron coupling in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots, starting with the electron-phonon coupling of the underlying graphene layer. We show that the coupling strength depends sensitively on

Hyperfine-induced valley mixing and the spin-valley blockade in carbon-based quantum dots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Hyperfine interaction (HFI) in carbon nanotube and graphene quantum dots is due to the presence of 13C atoms. We theoretically show that in these structures the short-range nature of the HFI gives rise to a coupling between the valley degree of freedom ...

Sources of negative tunneling magneto-resistance in multilevel quantum dots with ferromagnetic contacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We analyze distinct sources of spin-dependent energy level shifts and their impact on the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of interacting quantum dots coupled to collinearly polarized ferromagnetic leads.
