Resumen de Hysteretic linear conductance in single electron transport through a single atom magnet

J. Fernández Rossie, Roque Aguado Merlo

• We consider single electron transport through a II-VI semiconductor quantum dot doped with a single Mn atom. The spin dynamics of the Mn atom is controlled by the carriers electrically injected in the dot. We find that the charge-vs.-gate curve can display hysteretic behaviour when the Mn-carrier interaction is anisotropic. We discuss the origin and implication of this result.
