Spin-vibronics in interacting nonmagnetic molecular nanojunctions — •Stephan Weiss1, Jochen Brüggemann2, and Michael Thorwart2 — 1Theoretische Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen & CENIDE — 21. Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Hamburg
We show that in the presence of ferromagnetic electronic reservoirs and
spin-dependent tunnel couplings, molecular vibrations in nonmagnetic single
molecular transistors induce an effective intramolecular exchange magnetic
field[1]. It generates a finite spin-accumulation and -precession for the
electrons confined on the molecular bridge and occurs under
(non)equilibrium conditions. The effective exchange magnetic field is calculated here to lowest order in the tunnel coupling for
a nonequilibrium transport setup. Coulomb interaction between electrons is taken into account as well as a finite electron-phonon coupling. For realistic physical parameters, an effective spin-phonon coupling emerges. It is induced by quantum many-body interactions, which are either electron-phonon or Coulomb-like.
