The transport properties of a large-spin molecule strongly coupled to ferromagnetic leads in the presence of transverse magnetic anisotropy are studied theoretically. The relevant spectral functions, linear-response conductance, and the tunnel magnetoresistance are calculated by means of the numerical renormalization group method. We study the dependence of transport characteristics on orbital level position, uniaxial and transverse anisotropies, external magnetic field, and temperature. It is shown that while uniaxial magnetic anisotropy leads to the suppression of the Kondo effect, finite transverse anisotropy can restore the Kondo resonance. The effect of Kondo peak restoration strongly depends on the magnetic configuration of the device and leads to nontrivial behavior of the tunnel magnetoresistance. We show that the temperature dependence of the conductance at points where the restoration of the Kondo effect occurs is universal and shows a scaling typical for usual spin-one-half Kondo effect. |
