Accumulation of spin anisotropy in a nanoparticle in the mesoscopic Stoner regime — •Philipp Stegmann1, Björn Sothmann2, and Jürgen König1 — 1Theoretische Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen and CENIDE, 47048 Duisburg, Germany — 2Départment de Physique Théorique, Université de Genève, CH-1211 Genève 4, Switzerland
We theoretically discuss the accumulation of spin-quadrupole moment [1, 2] in an isotropic system giving rise to a large spin anisotropy although the spin-dipole moment remains strongly suppressed. Our system is a nanoparticle weakly tunnel coupled to two ferromagnetic leads. For such system, it has been demonstrated that the spin fluctuations give rise to enhanced shot noise [3]. Here, large positive spin-quadrupole moments are generated by abruptly switching off the bias voltage for parallel leads‘ polarizations. Moreover, applying an oscillating bias voltage results in large negative spin-quadrupole moments for parallel or antiparallel polarizations.
