(color online) Schematics of electrochemical potential. (a) Initial state of double quantum dots. Each dot is occupied by one electron and the electron in the right dot is spin-up while the state of the left electron is uncertain. Panels (b) and (c) represent two different situations. When a spin-down electron transits to a dot, it can transfer to the right one without restriction. However, a spin-up electron is forbidden from crossing due to the Pauli spin blockade.
