20. Here, the electron-electron interaction is neglected. When it is considered, the Coulomb blockade may occur and improve the spin polarization, because the majority spin electrons can be injected into the dsDNA more easily and then block the minority spin electrons. This case is similar to the spin polarization in a quantum dot, see Q.-F. Sun and X. C. Xie, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.73.235301 73, 235301 (2006).
