36. The weak link V (3) =0.05 between QD2 and lead R yields two sharp resonances at ± J2 in the local density of states of QD2. Tuning the electrochemical potential μR = εF + UR in between the resonances the spin current is larger as compared to the case μR <- J2 or μR > J2.

58. We here wish to mention that the use of TDDFT in lattice models is, at the moment, not rigorously founded as there is no proof that an interacting time-dependent density can be reproduced in a system of noninteracting electrons. This issue has been recently discussed by R. Baer, J. Chem. Phys. JCPSA6 0021-9606 10.1063/1.2822124 128, 044103 (2008)
