Non Equilibrium Green’S Function

Non-equilibrium Green’s function method is applied to study the spin thermoelectric effects in a four-quantum-dot ring with two of the quantum dots magnetized. The influence of magnetic configuration on the spin thermoelectric transport through the system is investigated. In some magnetic configurations, a significant spin Seebeck coefficient [Formula: see text] can be generated with the variation of the quantum dot (QD) energy level. Appropriately tuning the QD energy level can let the present device work as a pure spin-up (spin-down) or a pure-spin-current thermal generator. The combined effect of the magnetization and magnetic flux (or Rashba spin-orbit coupling) is also investigated. Finally, the charge figure of merit [Formula: see text] and spin figure of merit [Formula: see text] are evaluated, it is found that the magnitude of the spin figure of merit can be comparable to that of the charge counterpart.

AbstractSpin current generators are critical components for spintronics-based information processing. In this work, we theoretically and computationally investigate the bulk spin photovoltaic (BSPV) effect for creating DC spin current under light illumination. The only requirement for BSPV is inversion symmetry breaking, thus it applies to a broad range of materials and can be readily integrated with existing semiconductor technologies. The BSPV effect is a cousin of the bulk photovoltaic (BPV) effect, whereby a DC charge current is generated under light. Thanks to the different selection rules on spin and charge currents, a pure spin current can be realized if the system possesses mirror symmetry or inversion-mirror symmetry. The mechanism of BSPV and the role of the electronic relaxation time $$\tau$$ τ are also elucidated. We apply our theory to several distinct materials, including monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, anti-ferromagnetic bilayer MnBi2Te4, and the surface of topological crystalline insulator cubic SnTe.
