Abstract

Spin effects in the transport properties of a quantum dot with spin-charge separation are investigated. It is found that the nonlinear transport spectra are dominated by spin dynamics. Strong spin polarization effects are observed in a magnetic field. They can be controlled by varying gate and bias voltages. Complete polarization is stable against interactions. When polarization is not complete it is power law enhanced by non-Fermi-liquid effects.
