Spin-Seebeck effect and spin polarization in a multiple quantum dot molecule
arXiv:1706.00104 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.96.165413
Abstract
In this work, we study the conductance and the thermoelectric properties of a quantum dot embedded between two metallic leads with a side-coupled triple quantum dot molecule under a magnetic field. We focus on the spin polarization and thermoelectric quantities. Our results show the possibility of design an efficient spin filter device besides a noticeable enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient driven by the asymmetry in the quantum dots energy levels and a tunable pure spin Seebeck effect is obtained. This behavior also holds in the interacting case, where a pure spin Seebeck effect can be obtained for fixed values of the embedded quantum dot energy level. Our findings could lead to the implementation of a new pure spin energy conversion and capable spin filter devices working with weak magnetic fields.
