We study spin-dependent transport through a quantum dot with Zeeman split levels coupled to ferromagnetic leads and under influence of microwave irradiation. Current polarization, spin current, spin accumulation and tunneling magnetoresistance are analyzed using nonequilibrium Green's function formalism and rate equations. Spin-dependent beats in spin resolved currents are observed. The effects of magnetic field, temperature and Coulomb interaction on these beats are studied.

We study spin-dependent transport through a spin diode in the presence of spin-flip by means of reduced density matrix approach. The current polarization and the spin accumulation are computed and influence of spin-flip on the current polarization is also analyzed. Analytical relations for the current polarization and the spin accumulation are obtained as a function of polarization of ferromagnetic lead and the spin-flip rate. It is observed that the current polarization becomes zero under fast spin-flip and the spin accumulation decreases up to 85% when the time of spin-flip is equal to the tunneling time. It is also observed that the current polarization increases linearly when the dot is singly occupied, whereas its behavior is more complicated when the dot is doubly occupied.

Based on the non-equilibrium Green function method, we investigate the spin-dependent transport through a finite interacting quantum dot with intradot spin-flip scattering for non-collinear configuration. It is found that when the intradot spin-flip scattering is applied, the Kondo peaks in the local density of states and the conductance are split, and the splitting peaks are suppressed sharply. By changing the relative orientation of both magnetizations, amplitudes of the splitting peaks appear asymmetric, and reduce with the increasing relative angle θ of the two magnetic moments. It is uncovered that the presence of the spin-flip scattering tends to greatly suppress the spin-valve effect.
