Spintronics devices rely on spin-dependent transport behavior evoked by the presence of spin-polarized electrons. Transport through nanostructures, on the other hand, is dominated by strong Coulomb interaction. We study a model system in the intersection of both fields, a quantum dot attached to ferromagnetic leads. The combination of spin-polarization in the leads and strong Coulomb interaction in the quantum dot gives rise to an exchange field acting on electron spins in the dot. Depending on the parameter regime, this exchange field is visible in the transport either via a precession of an accumulated dot spin or via an induced level splitting. We review the situation for various transport regimes, and discuss two of them in more detail.
