Transport through an interacting quantum dot tunnel coupled to a ferromagnet with time-dependent magnetisation — •Nina Winkler, Michele Governale, and Jürgen König — Institut für Theoretische Physik III · Ruhr-Universität Bochum
We study spin and charge transport through a system composed of a quantum dot with Coulomb interaction, weakly tunnel coupled to a normal and a ferromagnetic lead with time-dependent magnetisation. We also allow the level position of the dot and the tunnel coupling to the normal lead to vary in time. In general, this setup works as a quantum pump and we focus on the adiabatic-pumping regime. To calculate the pumped charge and spin we extend a diagrammatic real-time approach to pumping through interacting quantum dots [ 1] to include ferromagnetic leads with time-dependent magnetisations.
