RESUMO

We investigated spin polarized transport properties through a quantum dot connected with two terminals. An electric current that circulates in our system can have its polarization modulated with an external potential that controls the spin orbit coupling (Rashba effect). We studied the effect of spin polarization n a transistor constituted by a quantum dot where its energies can be controlled with a gate potential that operates only in the confinement region. The high confinement and correlation between the charges give rises to interesting phenomena that we describe in this work. We demonstrate that tuning an external potential it is possible to control with a extremely efficient precision the intensity and the polarization of the current through this system. Another important parameter that we used to better understand this system was the external electric field. In the second part of this work, we studied the time evolution of a wave function supposed to be initially a wave package circulating our system composed by a quantum dot. We can prove resonant tunneling effects and interference effects in such a wave package as time goes by and we also studied spin orbit interaction effects on the polarization of the carrier.
