Electrical tuning of spin current in a boron nitride nanotube quantum dot.
Controlling spin current and magnetic exchange coupling by applying an electric field and achieving high spin injection efficiency at the same time in a nanostructure coupled to ferromagnetic electrodes have been the outstanding challenges in nanoscale spintronics. A relentless quest is going on to find new low-dimensional materials with tunable spin dependent properties to address these challe...
متن کاملTunable Kondo effect in a double quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic contacts.
We investigate the effects induced by ferromagnetic contacts attached to a serial double quantum dot. Spin polarization generates effective magnetic fields and suppresses the Kondo effect in each dot. The superexchange interaction J(AFM), tuned by the interdot tunneling rate t, can be used to compensate the effective fields and restore the Kondo resonance when the contact polarizations are alig...
متن کاملNonequilibrium spin-current detection with a single Kondo impurity
We present a theoretical study based on the Anderson model of the transport properties of a Kondo impurity (atom or quantum dot) connected to ferromagnetic leads, which can sustain a nonequilibrium spin current. We analyze the case where the spin current is injected by an external source and when it is generated by the voltage bias. Due to the presence of ferromagnetic contacts, a static exchan...
متن کاملKramers polarization in strongly correlated carbon nanotube quantum dots
Ferromagnetic contacts put in proximity with carbon nanotubes induce spin and orbital polarizations. These polarizations affect dramatically the Kondo correlations occurring in quantum dots formed in a carbon nanotube, inducing effective fields in both spin and orbital sectors. As a consequence, the carbon nanotube quantum dot spectral density shows a fourfold split SU(4) Kondo resonance. Furth...
متن کاملPositive cross correlations in a three-terminal quantum dot with ferromagnetic contacts.
We study current fluctuations in an interacting three-terminal quantum dot with ferromagnetic leads. For appropriately polarized contacts, the transport through the dot is governed by dynamical spin blockade, i.e., a spin-dependent bunching of tunneling events not present in the paramagnetic case. This leads, for instance, to positive zero-frequency cross correlations of the currents in the out...
