摘要
We present a theoretical framework to analyze fluctuations of electric current through a noncollinear single-electron spin-valve transistor in the limit of weak tunnel coupling. The system under consideration consists of two tunnel junctions that connect a small, nonmagnetic metallic island to two ferromagnetic leads with noncollinear magnetization. We study the current noise spectrum as a function of bias voltage, frequency, and the relative angle between the leads' magnetization directions and find that both the zero- and the finite-frequency current noise are strongly affected by charging energy and spin accumulation in the island.
