Tunnelling spin current and spin diode behaviour in a bilayer system.
The coherent tunnelling spin current in the bilayer system with spin-orbit coupling is investigated. Based on the continuity-like equations, we discuss the definition of the tunnelling current and show that the overlaps between wavefunctions for different layers contribute to the tunnelling current. We study the linear response of the tunnelling spin current to an in-plane electric field in the...
متن کاملSpin tunnelling in mesoscopic systems
Abstract. We study spin tunnelling in molecular magnets as an instance of a mesoscopic phenomenon, with special emphasis on the molecule Fe8. We show that the tunnel splitting between various pairs of Zeeman levels in this molecule oscillates as a function of applied magnetic field, vanishing completely at special points in the space of magnetic fields, known as diabolical points. This phenomen...
متن کاملSpin-spin correlation lengths of bilayer antiferromagnets
– The spin-spin correlation length and the static structure factor for bilayer antiferromagnets, such as YBa2Cu3O6, are calculated using field theoretical and numerical methods. It is shown that these quantities can be directly measured in neutron scattering experiments using energy integrated two-axis scan despite the strong intensity modulation perpendicular to the layers. Our calculations sh...
متن کاملElectrically tunable spin polarization in a carbon nanotube spin diode.
We have studied the current through a carbon-nanotube quantum dot with one ferromagnetic and one normal-metal lead. For the values of gate voltage at which the normal lead is resonant with the single available nondegenerate energy level on the dot, we observe a pronounced decrease in the current for one bias direction. We show that this rectification is spin dependent, and that it stems from th...
متن کاملDesigning a spin-Seebeck diode.
Using micromagnetic simulations, we have investigated spin dynamics in a spin-valve bilayer in the presence of a thermal gradient. The direction and the intensity of the gradient allow us to excite the spin wave modes of each layer selectively. This permits us to synchronize the magnetization precession of the two layers and to rectify the flows of energy and magnetization through the system. O...
