Spin Transport in a Rashba Ring-Quantum Dot System Pumped by Microwave Fields

We report a theoretical study on producing electrically spin-polarized current in the Rashba ring with parallel double dots embedded, which are subject to two time-dependent microwave fields. By means of the Keldysh Green's function method, we present an analytic result of the pumped current at adiabatic limit and demonstrate that the interplay between the quantum pumping effectand spin-dependent quantum interference can lead to an arbitrarily controllable spin-polarized current in the device. The magnitude and direction of the charge and spin current can be effectively modulated by system parameters such as the pumping phase difference, Rashba precession phase, and the dynamic phase difference of electron traveling in two arms of ring; moreover, thespin-polarization degree of the charge current can also be tuned in the range [-∞, +∞]. Our findings may shed light on the all-electric way to produce the controllable spin-polarized charge current in the field of spintronics.     

Determining Nuclear Form factor for Detection of Dark Matter in Relativistic Mean Field Theory

In this work, we derive the nuclear form factor for the spin-independent collision between the WIMPs and nucleus in terms of the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. Comparison with the traditional form factors which are commonly used in literature is given and it is found that our results are slightly above that of the 2PF model by 4% to 8%, but deviate from the Helm form factor by 15% to 25% for the whole recoil energy spectrum of 0 ∽ 100keV. Moreover, taking Xe and Ge as examples, we show the dependenceof the form factor on the recoil energy.     

Pauli Spin Paramagnetism and Electronic Specific Heat in Generalised d-Dimensions

The variations of pauli spin paramagnetic susceptibility and the electronic specific heat of solids, are calculated as functions of temperature following the free electron approximation, in generalised d-dimensions. The results are compared and become consistent with that obtained in three dimensions. Interestingly, the Pauli spin paramagnetic susceptibility becomes independent of temperature only in two dimensions.

电场和应力作用下氮钝化扶手型氧化锌纳米带的电子结构和磁特性

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)方法,在LDA+U水平下详细研究了电场和应力作用下氮钝化扶手型氧化锌纳米带(NA8-ZnONRs)的电子结构和磁特性。对体系的电子结构和磁性进行详细的计算,结果表明：本征扶手型氧化锌纳米带(A8-ZnONRs)是无磁性P型半导体。氮钝化后NA8-ZnONRs具有铁磁金属性,其磁性主要来源于N2p轨道(2.56μ_B)和O2p轨道(0.69μ_B)电子的自旋极化,总磁矩为3.21μ_B。NA8-ZnONRs体系对X方向电场有较强的响应,通过调节X方向电场的幅度,可以有效调节体系的磁矩。在X方向电场作用下体系仍具有铁磁金属性,磁性也主要来源于N2p和O2p轨道电子的自旋极化。施加X方向应力作用后,体系仍表现为铁磁金属性。与NA8-ZnONRs纳米带磁矩相比,体系的总磁矩均发生了较大幅度的增长,表明体系对应力作用具有较明显的相应。但随着应力幅度的调节,总磁矩的变化较平坦。表明施加应力可以有效调节体系的磁矩,但在较小应力范围内,体系对应力变化的相应不明显。

Splitting and Restoration of Kondo Peak in a Deformed Molecule Quantum Dot Coupled to Ferromagnetic Electrodes

We adopt the nonequilibrium Green＇s function method to theoretically study the Kondo effect in a deformed molecule, which is treated as an electron-phonon interaction （EPI） system. The self-energy for phonon part is calculated in the standard many-body diagrammatic expansion up to the second order in EPI strength. We find that the multiple phonon-assisted Kondo satellites arise besides the usual Kondo resonance. In the antiparallel magnetic configuration the splitting of main Kondo peak and phonon-assisted satellites only happen for asymmetrical dot-lead couplings, but it is free from the symmetry for the parallel magnetic configuration. The EPI strength and vibrational frequency can enhance the spin splitting of both main Kondo and satellites. It is shown that the suppressed zero-bias Kondo resonance can be restored by applying an external magnetic field, whose magnitude is dependent on the phononic effect remarkably. Although the asymmetry in tunnel coupling has no contribution to the restoration of spin splitting of Kondo peak, it can shrink the external field needed to switch tunneling magnetoresistance ratio between large negative dip and large positive peak.     

Realization of Spin Switch in a Triple-Terminal Double-Quantum-Dot Structure

Electron transport through a triple-terminal double-quantum-dot structure is theoretically studied. By adjusting the chemical potential in leads, two channels in this system are created, and in the presence of magnetic flux the conductances for the two channels present remarkable difference from each other. When the quantum dots are made of ferromagnetic materials, the levels of quantum dots are spin dependent, then spin polarization comes about in the two channels. Furthermore, in some regions spin polarization in the different channels are opposite. We consider that this model can be a device prototype for spin filtering and spin separation.     

Note on Implementation of Three-Qubit SWAP Gate

In this paper, the synthesis and implementation of three-qubit SWAP gate is discussed. The three-qubit SWAP gate can be decomposed into product of 2 two-qubit SWAP gates, and it can be realized by 6 CNOT gates. Research illustrated that although the result is very simple, the current methods of matrix decomposition for multi-qubit gate can not get that. Then the implementation of three-qubit SWAP gate in the three spin system with Ising interaction is investigated and the sequence of control pulse and drift process to implement the gate is given. It needs 23 control pulses and 12 drift processes. Since the interaction can not be switched on and off at will, the realization of three-qubit SWAP gate in specific quantum system also can not simply come down to 2 two-qubit SWAP gates.     

Four-Electron Quantum Ring in a Magnetic Field

We study a quantum ring （QR） with four electrons in a perpendicular external magnetic field B by exact diagonalization. The low-lying spectra of the QR as a function orb are obtained. A phase diagram is presented indicating that the angular momentum and the spin of the ground state of the QR may jump when B and/or the radius of the QR vary, and a corresponding analysis is performed. By plotting the density functions of the QR, the ground-state configuration is found to be a regular quadrangle. Furthermore, the features of the ground-state persistent current are revealed.
