We develop an input–output methodology to estimate how Chinese exports affected the country's total domestic value added (DVA) and employment in the years 2002 and 2007. For every US$1000 dollar of Chinese exports in 2007 (2002), DVA and employment are estimated to be US$591 (US$466) and 0.096...

We present a theoretical study of the spin-dependent conductance spectra in a FM/semiconductor quantum-dot (QD)/FM system. Both the Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling in the QD and spin-flip scattering caused by magnetic barrier impurities are taken into account. It is found that in the...

We investigate the current and the spin torque in a system composed of a quantum dot (QD) connected to two ferromagnetic leads with arbitrary relative magnetization direction. An external magnetic field is applied to the QD, where the e–e Coulomb interaction is taken into account. Within the...
