Transport and energetic properties of a ring of interacting spins coupled to heat baths
arXiv:1812.10951 · doi:10.3390/e21030228
Abstract
We study the heat and spin transport properties in a ring of interacting spins coupled to heat baths at different temperatures. We show that interactions, by inducing avoided crossings, can be a mean to tune both the total heat current flowing between the ring and the baths, and the way it flows through the system. In particular, we recognize three regimes in which the heat current flows clockwise, counter-clockwise, and in parallel. The temperature bias between the baths also induces a spin current within the ring, whose direction and magnitude can be tuned by the interaction. Lastly, we show how the ergotropy of the nonequilibrium steady state can increase significantly near the avoided crossings.
