摘要
The charging energy of a metallic grain called a dot embedded in a nanowire causes the single electron tunneling. We propose that when two magnetic dots are embedded in a nanowire, the single electron tunneling process is controlled by an external magnetic field. This is because the tunneling of electrons between magnetic dots depends on the relative angle of the magnetic moments.
