Abstract

Weakly coupled quantum dots in the Pauli spin blockade regime are considered with respect to spin-dependent transport. By attaching one half-metallic and one non-magnetic lead, the Pauli spin blockade if formed by a pure triplet state with spin moment Sz=1 or -1. Furthermore, additional spin blockade regimes emerge because of full occupation in states with opposite spin to that of the half-metallic lead.
