Magneto-Coulomb Oscillation in Ferromagnetic Single Electron Transistors

Abstract
The mechanism of the magneto-Coulomb oscillation in ferromagnetic single electron transistors (SET's) is theoretically considered. Variations in the chemical potentials of the conduction electrons in the ferromagnetic island electrode and the ferromagnetic lead electrodes in magnetic fields cause changes in the free energy of the island electrode of the SET. This is a plausible origin of the conductance oscillation of the SET in sweeping an applied magnetic field.
