- We demonstrate that the magnetoconductance of small lateral quantum dots in the strongly coupled regime (i.e. when the leads can support one or more propagating modes) shows a pronounced splitting of the conductance peaks and dips which persists over a wide range of magnetic fields (from zero field to the edge-state regime) and is virtually independent of the magnetic field strength. Our numerical analysis of the conductance based on the Hubbard Hamiltonian demonstrates that this is essentially a many-body/spin effect that can be traced to a splitting of degenerate levels in the corresponding closed dot. The above effect in open dots can be regarded as a counterpart of the Coulomb-blockade effect in weakly coupled dots, with the difference, however, that the splitting of the peaks originates from interactions between electrons of opposite spin.

- We propose a device based on an antidot embedded in a narrow quantum wire in the edge-state regime, that can be used to inject and/or control spin-polarized current. The operational principle of the device is based on the effect of resonant backscattering from one edge state into another through localized quasibound states, combined with the effect of Zeeman splitting of the quasibound states in sufficiently high magnetic field. We outline the device geometry, present detailed quantum-mechanical transport calculations, and suggest a possible scheme to test the device performance and functionality.
