Theoretical Investigation in Coherent Manipulation throughout the Calculation of the Local Density of States in FM-DQD-FM Device

Abstract:

In this work, theoretical investigation in coherent manipulation throughout local density of states calculation for serially coupled double quantum dots embedded between ferromagnetic leads (FM-QD1-QD2-FM) by using the non-equilibrium Green's function approach. Since the local density of states are formulated incorporating the spin polarization and the type of spin configuration on the leads. Our model incorporates the inter-dot hopping, the intra-dot Coulomb correlation, the spin exchange energy and the coupling interactions between the quantum dots and leads. The results concerned to the parallel configuration at strong inter-dot coupling regime shows that the spin down electrons in the quantum dots may be more coupled coherently if the regime is tuned. The local density of states of the two dots for spin up electrons shows a broad hump with small splitting i.e. the case is decoherent for spin up electrons. In the case of weak interdot coupling it is obvious that the spin dependent density of states on the quantum dots show that the resonances are not well splitted. For the antiparallel configuration in the strong coupling regime, the spin dependent density of states of the double quantum dots show four peaks but with broaden and overlapping. In the case of weak coupling regime, the total spin dependent density of states, which have two peaks with certain board, one can conclude that the states are not coupled coherently. The case of the antiferromagnetic nature of the spin exchange interaction, our calculations for the parallel and antiparallel configurations (in strong and weak regimes) show a decoherence state.
