Nonequilibrium spin-polarized thermal transport in ferromagnetic-quantum dot-metal system

We use nonequilibrium Green function to analyze the nonequilibrium spin-polarized thermal transport through the ferromagnetic-quantum dot-metal system, in which a quantum dot (QD) is coupled to the ferromagnetic and metal electrodes with the voltage bias and the temperature shift. The differential thermoelectric conductance L(θ) is always zero and has no relation with the temperature shift when ε is equal to the Fermi level. The positive and negative values of L(θ) manifest the thermoelectric characteristic of electron-like (or hole-like) carrier when the temperature shift is nonzero. The electrostatic potential U becomes spin-dependent, and makes the dot level renormalization when the ferromagnetic-quantum dot-metal system is driven by the voltage bias and the temperature shift. We define that the spin polarization of the currents between the spin current Is and the electric current Ic is denoted as Is/Ic. The spin polarization Is/Ic shows novel and unique physical phenomenon when the voltage bias and the temperature shift are changed in the nonequilibrium state. Another interesting phenomenon is that we can obtain the pure spin current and a zero point of the thermocurrent Ith by adjusting the voltage bias and the temperature shift.
