Abstract

We have investigated the spin-dependent electronic transports through a shuttled molecule, a molecule self-excitedly oscillating due to suffering an external electric field. When the shuttled molecule is coupled asymmetrically to a ferromagnetic and a normal metal leads, a pronounced dual rectification effect is predicted for both spin- and charge-currents in the Coulomb blockade regime. As compared to the conventional rectifier based on a static quantum dot, the proposed rectifier based on a movable individual molecule has higher rectification efficiency.
