Spin and Charge Currents from Applying a Microwave Field to a Quantum Dot

Article Preview

Abstract:

The evolution operator approach is applied to studying photon-electron pumping effects on a quantum dot connected to two magnetic leads in the presence of both via-dot and over-dot tunneling channels. It is found that a microwave field applied to the quantum dot may give rise to charge and spin pumping at zero bias voltage for asymmetric magnetic junctions.
