Aharonov Bohm Effect in Voltage Dependent Molecular Spin Dimer Switch

Abstract

The experimental realization of a coupled spin pair has been reported by Heiko Webber et.al and its theoretical description has been previously discussed including the condition that local magnetization of the junction is required for the individual moments to affect the electrons in the molecular ligand through the Kondo interaction. Here in this work, we show that when the couple spin pair is placed in an interferometry set up of the Aharonov-Bohm type additional features related to the switching behavior of the coupled spin pair emerge. This features lead to a phase dependent exchange magnetic field coming from the ferromagnets in proximity with the molecule, a phase dependent commutation of the singlet/triplet ground state around zero bias and it leads to variations in the voltage dependent effective exchange profile between the spin pair. These predictions contribute to the acceptance of the hypothesis that spin polarization can be harvested from quantum coherence in molecular quantum mechanics
