| The problem of spin-dependent transport of electrons through a metallic nanostructure is considered. The system consists of non-magnetic metal wire with two magnetic impurities and is connected to two ferromagnetic leads. The differential conductance is calculated by using the transfer matrix method. The spin polarization of the conductance is also obtained. It was found that this polarization is dependent on the spin configuration of magnetic impurities. This dependence can be controlled by the applied bias voltage. |
