附着在铁磁引线上的量子点中增强的光子辅助自旋输运

Enhanced photon-assisted spin transport in a quantum dot attached to ferromagnetic leads

Fabricio M. Souza, Thiago L. Carrara, E. Vernek

摘要:

我们研究了耦合到铁磁引线的量子点中自旋极化电流的实时动力学。当外部偏置电压在时间上取恒定时,电容耦合到量子点的栅极端子引入点电平的周期性调制。利用非平衡格林函数技术,我们发现自旋极化电子可以通过附加的光子辅助传输通道隧穿系统。由于点能级的塞曼分裂,有可能选择一个特定的自旋分量从左端到右端进行光子转移,其中自旋相关的电流峰值出现在不同的栅极频率。铁磁电极增强或抑制自旋输运取决于引线的磁化取向。隧道磁电阻也达到负值,由于光子辅助反转的自旋阀效应。

英文摘要:

We investigate real-time dynamics of spin-polarized current in a quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads in both parallel and antiparallel alignments. While an external bias voltage is taken constant in time, a gate terminal, capacitively coupled to the quantum dot, introduces a periodic modulation of the dot level. Using non equilibrium Green's function technique we find that spin polarized electrons can tunnel through the system via additional photon-assisted transmission channels. Owing to a Zeeman splitting of the dot level, it is possible to select a particular spin component to be photon-transfered from the left to the right terminal, with spin dependent current peaks arising at different gate frequencies. The ferromagnetic electrodes enhance or suppress the spin transport depending upon the leads magnetization alignment. The tunnel magnetoresistance also attains negative values due to a photon-assisted inversion of the spin-valve effect.
