We predict the non-equilibrium molecular conductance in the Kondo regime from first principles by combining density functional theory with the renormalized super-perturbation theory.

In recent years, electrical spin injection and detection has grown into a lively area of research in the field of spintronics. Spin injection into a paramagnetic material is usually achieved by means of a ferromagnetic source, whereas the induced spin accumulation or associated spin currents are detected by means of a second ferromagnet or the reciprocal spin Hall effect, respectively. This article reviews the current status of this subject, describing both recent progress and well-established results. The emphasis is on experimental techniques and accomplishments that brought about important advances in spin phenomena and possible technological applications. These advances include, amongst others, the characterization of spin diffusion and precession in a variety of materials, such as metals, semiconductors and graphene, the determination of the spin polarization of tunneling electrons as a function of the bias voltage, and the implementation of magnetization reversal in nanoscale ferromagnetic particles with pure spin currents.

This article examines spin currents and spin densities in realistic open semiconductor nanostructures using different tools of quantum-transport theory based on the non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) approach. It begins with an introduction to the essential theoretical formalism and practical computational techniques before explaining what pure spin current is and how pure spin currents can be generated and detected. It then considers the spin-Hall effect (SHE), and especially the mesoscopic SHE, along with spin-orbit couplings in low-dimensional semiconductors. It also describes spin-current operator, spindensity, and spin accumulation in the presence of intrinsic spin-orbit couplings, as well as the NEGF approach to spin transport in multiterminal spin-orbit-coupled nanostructures. The article concludes by reviewing formal developments with examples drawn from the field of the mesoscopic SHE in low-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled semiconductor nanostructures.

Abstract Understanding the properties of correlated quantum liquids is a fundamental issue of condensed matter physics. Even in such a correlated case, fascinatingly, we can tell that the equilibrium fluctuations of the system govern its linear response to an external field, relying on the fluctuation dissipation relations based on the two-body correlations. Going beyond, up to the three-body correlations, is of importance for van der Waals force [1], the three-body force in nuclei [2], the Efimov state [3, 4], the ring exchange interaction in solid 3He [5, 6], and frustrated spin systems [7]. In our work, we have used a quantum dot in the Kondo regime, which is a controllable realization of such a correlated quantum liquid [8–11]. Thanks to the quality of our sample, where the Kondo effect in the unitary limit was achieved, we could quantitatively measure the three-body correlations and their role in the non-equilibrium regime, in perfect agreement with recent results of the Fermi liquid theory [12– 15]. In particular, we have demonstrated its importance when time-reversal symmetry is broken, solving a long-standing puzzle of the Kondo systems under the magnetic field [13]. The demonstrated method to relate three-body correlation and non-equilibrium transport opens up a way for further investigation of the dynamics of quantum many-body systems.
