Spin-flip process through double quantum dots coupled to two half-metallic ferromagnetic leads

We investigate the spin-flip process through double quantum dots coupled to two half-metallic ferromagnetic leads in series. By means of the slave-boson mean-field approximation, we calculate the density of states in the Kondo regime for two different configurations of the leads. It is found that the transport shows some remarkable properties depending on the spin-flip strength. These effects may be useful in exploiting the role of electronic correlation in spintronics.

Algebraic equation of motion approach for solving the Anderson model

Based on the algebraic equation of motion(AEOM)approach,we have studied the single-impurity Anderson model by analytically solving the AEOM of the f-electron one-particle Green function in the Kondo limit.The related spectral function satisfies the sum rule and shows that there is a well-known three-peak structure at zero temperature.In the low energy limit,we obtain the analytical formula of the Kondo temperature that is the same as the exact solution in form except for a prefactor.We also show that the shape of the Kondo resonance is the Lorentzian form and the corresponding weight is proportional to the spin-flip correlation function.

Aharonov-Casher Oscillasions of Transmission Through a Mesoscopic Ring with a Magnetic Impurity

Aharonov-Casher oscillasions of transmission through a mesoscopic ring with a magnetic impurity is investigated. Both spin-dependent transmission and reflection coefficients of spin-state electrons at zero-temperature are calculated as a function of the textured electric fields and its title angle in the present of spin-flipper scattering. It is found that the spin-exchange interaction can destroy intermittently periodic oscillations of spin-up transmission and reflection coefficients within some small ranges in the adiabatic region of quantum phase. However spin-down transmission and reflection coefficients appear periodic AC oscillations. The calculated results manifest that spindown transmission and reflection coefficients have the same perfect oscillation patterns. In the nonadiabatic region, the behavior of the anomalous AC oscillations are depedent on the difference between the tilt angle of spin and that of texture electric field.

A位掺杂Tm对重稀土铁氧体TbFeO3磁性及磁卡效应的影响

采用传统的高温固相反应法制备了Tb1-xTmxFeO3(x=0,0.2)多晶样品。系统研究了掺杂Tm对铁氧体TbFeO3磁性及磁卡效应的影响。结果表明:两样品均为正交结构,空间群为D^162h-pbnm;掺杂后样品特征spin-flip现象减弱,反铁磁性几乎消失,等温磁化强度和磁热效应减小;7T外场下,两样品的最大磁熵变ΔSM分别为-13.78、-11.59J/(kg·K),制冷能力(RC)分别为316.85、312.89J/kg。掺杂后样品表现出略低的负面影响,但是0.01T时相同温度下的磁化强度增强明显,最大磁熵变值和制冷能力仍然在较理想范围,可以作为磁制冷工质的候选。

Magnetoresistance in the ferromagnet/insulator/ferromagnet tunnel junction

Recently experiments and theories show that the tunnel magnetoresistance （TMR） does not only depend on the ferromagnetic metal electrodes but also on the insulator. Considering the rough-scattering effect and spin-flip effect in the insulator, this paper investigates the TMR ratio in a ferromagnet/insulator/ferromagnet （FM/I/FM） tunnelling junction by using Slonczewsik＇s model. A more general expression of TMR ratio as a function of barrier height, interface roughness and spin-flip effect is obtained. In lower barrier case, it shows that the TMR ratio depends on the roughscattering effect and spin-flip effect.

An extended chain Ising model and its Glauber dynamics

It was first proposed that an extended chain Ising （ECI） model contains the Ising chain model, single spin doublewell potentials and a pure phonon heat bath of a specific energy exchange with the spins. The extension method is easy to apply to high dimensional cases. Then the single spin-flip probability （rate） of the ECI model is deduced based on the Boltzmann principle and general statistical principles of independent events and the model is simplified to an extended chain Glauber-Ising （ECGI） model. Moreover, the relaxation dynamics of the ECGI model were simulated by the Monte Carlo method and a comparison with the predictions of the special chain Clauber-Ising （SCGI） model was presented. It was found that the results of the two models are consistent with each other when the Ising chain length is large enough and temperature is relative low, which is the most valuable case of the model applications. These show that the ECI model will provide a firm physical base for the widely used single spin-flip rate proposed by Glauber and a possible route to obtain the single spin-flip rate of other form and even the multi-spin-flip rate.

Spin-Dependent Transport through a Quantum Wire with Magnetic Impurity

Spin-dependent transmission coefficients as a function of Fermi energy is calculated for electron scattering from magnetic impurity in a narrow quantum wire, in which spin-exchange interaction between conducting electron and the impurity leads to exchange spin-flip scattering. Transmission in the spin-flipped channels is explicitly calculated. It has been found that spin-up and spin-down transmission coefficients for intrasubband and intersubband enhance Fano-resonance profiles, which have asymmetric behaviors, whenever Fermi energy crosses bottom of every subband below. Meanwhile due to dephasing of electron wave caused by spin-flip scattering, the entanglement between spin states of electron and magnetic impurity obviously destroys the global step structure of quantized conductance and suppresses the height of the conductance step.

Structure,magnetism and magnetic thermal properties of heavy rare earth Tb1-xTmxFeO3(x=0.00,0.15,0.25) polycrystalline samples

Tb1-xTmxFeO3(x = 0.00,0.15,0.25) polycrystalline series were synthesized using a solid-state reaction.Our results show that all three prepared samples are in a distorted orthogonal structure and their space group is pbnm.When the Tm3+doping amount increases,the characteristics of the spin-flip of the sample decreases following an initial increase at the beginning;the antiferromagnetic property almost reaches zero;the magnetization decreases at the beginning but increases later on.The maximum magnetic entropy change and magnetic refrigeration effect RCP are reduced at varying degrees.Under a 7 T magnetic field,the maximum magnetic entropy change,△Smax,for the three samples of Tb1-xTmxFeO3 with x=0.00,0.15,0.25 is 13.78,-9.28,and 10.69 J/(K·kg),respectively;the magnetic refrigeration capacity(RCP) is 316.85,175.2,and 297.60 J/kg,respectively.In summary,doping with the element Tm reduces △Smax and RCP of the sample.Since the maximum magnetic entropy change and the cooling capacity for the three samples are relatively large,they can be used as an alternative for magnetic refrigerants.
