Charge Transport and Entropy Production Rate in Magnetically Active Molecular Dimer
arXiv:1702.05389 · doi:10.1021/acs.jpcc.7b10350
Abstract
We consider charge and thermal transport properties of magnetically active paramagnetic molecular dimer. Generic properties for both transport quantities are reduced currents in the ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic regimes compared to the paramagnetic and efficient current blockade in the anti-ferromagnetic regime. In contrast, while the charge current is about an order of magnitude larger in the ferromagnetic regime, compared to the anti-ferromagnetic, the thermal current is efficiently blockaded there as well. This disparate behavior of the thermal current is attributed to current resonances in the ferromagnetic regime which counteract the thermal flow. The temperature difference strongly reduces the exchange interaction and tends to destroy the magnetic control of the transport properties. The weakened exchange interaction opens up a possibility to tune the system into thermal rectification, for both the charge and thermal currents.
