Abstracts

EN

Effects of local vibrational modes on electron transport through a quantum dot attached to ferromagnetic electrodes are studied in the Kondo regime by the non-equilibrium Green function formalism based on the equation of motion method. Differential conductance is calculated for parallel and antiparallel configurations of the leads' magnetic moments, and well defined Kondo resonance peaks and their phonon satellites are found. The influence of a compensating magnetic field on the peak positions is also discussed.
