Influence of Magnetic Field on Dark States in Transport through Triple Quantum Dots

We theoretically study the electronic transport through a triple quantum dot system in triangular geometry weakly coupled to external metallic leads. By means of the real-time diagrammatic technique, the current and Fano factor are calculated in the lowest order of perturbation theory. The device parameters are tuned to such transport regime, in which coherent population trapping of electrons in quantum dots due to the formation of dark states occurs. The presence of such states greatly influences transport properties leading to a strong current blockade and enhanced, super-Poissonian shot noise. We consider both one- and two-electron dark states and examine the influence of magnetic field on coherent trapping in aforementioned states. When the system is in one-electron dark state, we observe a small shift of the blockade's region, whereas in the case of two-electron dark state, we show that strong magnetic field can lift the current blockade completely

Current Suppression in Transport Through Triple Quantum Dots Coupled to Ferromagnetic Leads

We consider transport through triple quantum dot system in a triangular geometry weakly coupled to external ferromagnetic leads. The real-time diagrammatic technique in the lowest order perturbation theory is used to calculate the current and Fano factor in the parallel and antiparallel magnetic configuration of the system as well as the resulting tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). We focus on the transport regime where the current is suppressed and show that it can lead to negative differential conductance and large super-Poissonian shot noise, which are present in both magnetic configurations. Furthermore, we show that for voltages where the system is trapped in a one-particle dark state the TMR becomes suppressed, while for two-particle blockade, the TMR is much enhanced

Wpływ krioterapii ogólnoustrojowej na profil lipidowy i stężenie glukozy we krwi u kobiet w starszym wieku

The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in the level of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose in older women with spondyloarthrosis, who underwent whole-body cryotherapy treatments. The experimental group, which comprised 69 older women between 65 and 70 years of age, was randomly divided into three sub-groups. Each subgroup was exposed to different physiotherapeutic procedure for two weeks: cryotherapy, kinesiotherapy, and cryotherapy combined with kinesiotherapy. The control group comprised 25 women who did not get any therapeutic intervention. The level of total cholesterol, LDL fraction, HDL fraction, triglycerides, and glucose was assessed for each group. No significant changes in any of the studied parameters of fat fractions were observed. In women exposed to both cryotherapy and kinesiotherapy, the level of fasting glycemia decreased significantly. Applying whole-body cryotherapy to older women with spondyloarthrosis does not cause changes in the level of cholesterol and triglycerides, but may cause changes in the level of glucose.Celem pracy była ocena zmian poziomu cholesterolu całkowitego, frakcji HDL i LDL, trójglicerydów i glukozy u starszych kobiet ze zmianami zwyrodnieniowymi kręgosłupa lędźwiowego, poddanych krioterapii ogólnoustrojowej. Grupa badanych złożona z 69 kobiet pomiędzy 65 a 70 rokiem życia, została losowo podzielona na trzy grupy, z których każda poddana została innemu rodzajowi terapii: krioterapii, krioterapii połączonej z kinezy-terapią, tylko kinezyterapii. Grupę kontrolną stanowiło 25 kobiet, niepoddanych żadnej interwencji terapeutycznej. Poziomy cholesterolu całkowitego, LDL, HDL, trójglicerydów i glukozy na czczo zostały oznaczone w każdej grupie. Badane wskaźniki frakcji tłuszczowych nie uległy istotnym zmianom w żadnej z grup. U kobiet poddanych zarówno krioterapii, jak i kinezyterapii poziom glikemii na czczo znacząco się obniżył. Zastosowanie krioterapii ogólnoustrojowej nie wpływa na stężenie cholesterolu i trójglicerydów u starszych kobiet, lecz może wywołać zmiany poziomu glukozy
