Rectifying full-counting statistics in a spin Seebeck engine
arXiv:1705.10025 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.97.081407
Abstract
We investigate the rectification and negative differential effects of full-counting statistics of conjugate thermal spin transport in a spin Seebeck engine. The engine is made by an electron/magnon interface diode driven by a temperature bias, of which the scaled cumulant generating function is formulated in the framework of nonequilibrium Green's function. The strongly fluctuating interfacial electron density of states induced by quantum dot is responsible for these intriguing properties. This work is relevant for designing efficient spin caloritronic engine and can broaden our view in nonequilibrium thermodynamics and the nonlinear phenomenon in quantum transport system.
