Transport through molecular magnets is studied in the regime of strong coupling to the leads. We consider a resonant-tunneling model where the electron spin in a quantum dot or molecule is coupled to an additional local, anisotropic spin via exchange interaction. The two opposite regimes dominated by resonant tunneling and by Kondo transport, respectively, are considered. In the resonant-tunneling regime, the stationary state of the impurity spin is calculated for arbitrarily strong molecule-lead coupling using a master-equation approach, which treats the exchange interaction perturbatively. We find that the characteristic fine structure in the differential conductance persists even if the hybridization energy exceeds thermal energies. Transport in the Kondo regime is studied within a diagrammatic approach. We show that magnetic anisotropy gives rise to the appearance of two Kondo peaks at nonzero bias voltages.
