Abstract

Spin-charge states of correlated electrons in a one-dimensional quantum dot attached to interacting leads are studied in the non-linear transport regime. With non-symmetric tunnel barriers, regions of negative differential conductance induced by spin-charge separation are found. They are due to a correlation-induced trapping of higher-spin states without magnetic field, and associated with a strong increase in the fluctuations of the electron spin.
