Transport through quantum-dot spin valves containing magnetic impurities

Björn Sothmann, Jürgen König

We investigate transport through a single-level quantum dot coupled to noncollinearly magnetized ferromagnets in the presence of localized spins in either the tunnel barrier or on…

Influence of spin waves on transport through a quantum-dot spin valve

Björn Sothmann, Jürgen König, Anatoli Kadigrobov

We study the influence of spin waves on transport through a single-level quantum dot weakly coupled to ferromagnetic electrodes with noncollinear magnetizations. Side peaks appear…

Probing the exchange field of a quantum-dot spin valve by a superconducting lead

Björn Sothmann, David Futterer, Michele Governale +1

Electrons in a quantum-dot spin valve, consisting of a single-level quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic leads with magnetizations pointing in arbitrary directions, experience…

Charge ordering of magnetic monopoles in triangular spin ice patterns

A. Schumann, B. Sothmann, P. Szary +1

Artificial spin ice offers the possibility to investigate a variety of dipolar orderings, spin frustrations and ground states. However, the most fascinating aspect is the realizati…

Non-equilibrium current and noise in inelastic tunneling through a magnetic atom

Björn Sothmann, Jürgen König

In a recent experiment, Hirjibehedin {\it et al.} [Science {\bf 317}, 1199 (2007)] performed inelastic tunneling spectroscopy of a single iron atom absorbed on a nonmagnetic substr…
