Abstract
Tunnel transport of interacting spin-polarized electrons through a single-level vibrating quantum dot in external magnetic field is studied. By using density matrix method, the current-voltage characteristics and the dependence of conductance on temperature of a single-electron transistor were calculated. We found that a lifting of Coulomb blockade in external magnetic field happens in stages. The Franck-Condon steps associated with inelastic electron tunneling in our case are doubled due to contribution of two Zeeman-split levels in electron transport. The doubling of steps can be also observed in the presence of Coulomb interaction. For strong electron-vibron interaction the temperature dependence of conductance is shown to be non-monotonic and anomalous growth of conductance maximum weakly depends both on the Coulomb strength and the external magnetic field.
