The zero-temperature magnetic field-dependent conductance of electrons through a one-dimensional non-interacting tight-binding chain with an interacting {it side} dot is reviewed and analized further. When the number of electrons in the dot is odd, and the Kondo effect sets in at the impurity site, the conductance develops a wide minimum as a function of the gate voltage, being zero at the unitary limit. Application of a magnetic field progressively destroys the Kondo effect and, accordingly, the conductance develops pairs of dips separated by $U$, where $U$ is the repulsion between two electrons at the impurity site. Each one of the two dips in the conductance corresponds to a perfect spin polarized transmission, opening the possibility for an optimum spin filter. The results are discussed in terms of Fano resonances between two interfering transmission channels, applied to recent experimental results, and compared with results corresponding to the standard substitutional configuration, where the dot is at the central site of the non-interacting chain.

We study the thermoelectric response of a device containing a pair of helical edge states contacted at the same temperature $T$ and chemical potential $mu$ and connected to an external reservoir, with different chemical potential and temperature, thr
ough a side quantum dot. Different operational modes can be induced by applying a magnetic field $B$ and a gate voltage $V_g$ at the quantum dot. At finite $B$, the quantum dot acts simultaneously as a charge and a spin filter. Charge and spin currents are induced, not only through the quantum dot, but also along the edge states. We focus on linear response and analyze the regimes, which we identify as charge heat engines or refrigerator, spin heat engine and spin refrigerator.
Quantum spin transport is studied in an interacting quantum dot. It is found that a conductance plateau emerges in the non-linear charge conductance by a spin bias in the Kondo regime. The conductance plateau, as a complementary to the Kondo peak, or
iginates from the strong electron correlation and exchange processes in the quantum dot, and can be regarded as one of the characteristics in quantum spin transport.
We analyze the linear thermoelectric transport properties of devices with three quantum dots in a star configuration. A central quantum dot is tunnel-coupled to source and drain electrodes and to two additional quantum dots. For a wide range of param
eters, in the absence of an external magnetic field, the system is a singular Fermi liquid with a non-analytic behavior of the electric transport properties at low energies. The singular behavior is associated with the development of a ferromagnetic or an underscreened Kondo effect, depending on the parameter regime. A magnetic field drives the system into a regular Fermi liquid regime and leads to a large peak ($sim k_B/|e|$) in the spin thermopower as a function of the temperature, and to a $sim 100%$ spin polarized current for a wide range of parameters due to interference effects. We find a qualitatively equivalent behavior for systems with a larger number of side coupled quantum dots, with the maximum value of the spin thermopower decreasing as the number of side-coupled quantum dots increases.
We calculate the conductance through rings with few sites $L$ described by the $t-J$ model, threaded by a magnetic flux $Phi$ and weakly coupled to conducting leads at two arbitrary sites. The model can describe a circular array of quantum dots with
large charging energy $U$ in comparison with the nearest-neighbor hopping $t$. We determine analytically the particular values of $Phi$ for which a depression of the transmittance is expected as a consequence of spin-charge separation. We show numerically that the equilibrium conductance at zero temperature is depressed at those particular values of $Phi $ for most systems, in particular at half filling, which might be easier to realize experimentally.
We analyze time evolution of charge and spin states in a quantum dot coupled to an electric reservoir. Utilizing high-speed single-electron detection, we focus on dynamics induced by the first-order tunneling. We find that there is a difference betwe
en the spin and the charge relaxation: the former appears slower than the latter. The difference depends on the Fermi occupation factor and the spin relaxation becomes slower when the energy level of the quantum dot is lowered. We explain this behavior by a theory which includes the first-order tunneling processes. We conduct detailed comparison of the experiment and the theory with changing the energy of the quantum dot levels, and the theory can reproduce the experimental results.
