Danon and Yu. V. Nazarov<br/>We study electron transport in a double quantum dot in the Pauli spin blockade regime in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. The effect of spin-orbit coupling is incorporated into a modified interdot tunnel coupling. We elucidate the role of the external magnetic field, the nuclear fields in...<br/><img src="http://prb.aps.org/files/SuggestionPRB30x30.jpg" alt="PRB Editors' Suggestion"/><br/> <img src="http://prola.aps.org/graphics/rapid30x30.gif" width="30" height="30" alt="Rapid Communication"/><br/>[Phys.

We find that the Grüneisen parameter diverges as ln(T_{0} /T) with vanishing tem...<br/><img src="http://prola.aps.org/graphics/rapid30x30.gif" width="30" height="30" alt="Rapid Communication"/><br/>[Phys.
