Frequency-dependent current noise in ferromagnetic double junctions with a
Coulomb blockade is studied theoretically in the limit of sequential tunnel
ing. Two different relaxation processes are found in the correlations betwe
en spin-polarized tunneling currents: low-frequency spin fluctuations and h
igh-frequency charge fluctuations. Spin accumulation in strongly asymmetric
junctions is shown to lend to a negative differential resistance. We also
show that large spin noise activated in the range of negative differential
resistance gives rise to a significant enhancement of the current noise. [S
