The tunneling current I as a function of bias voltage V and Zeeman splitting energy ΔB in HMF–QD–NM structure with equal temperatures T = 0.01 and different gate voltages (a) εd = 0 and (b) εd = −U. The NDC can be shifted to a higher bias regime by the positive or negative external magnetic field’s direction, with respect to different tunneling regimes at (c) εd = 0 and (d) εd = −U.
