Abstract

We investigate mesoscopic spin transport through a quantum dot (QD) responded by a rotating and an oscillating magnetic fields. The rotating magnetic field rotates with the angular frequency ω0 around the z-axis with the tilt angle θ, while the time-oscillating magnetic field is located in the z-axis with the angular frequency ω. The spin flip is caused by the rotating magnetic field, and it is the major source of spin current. The Zeeman effect is contributed by the two field components, and it is important as the magnetic fields are strong. The oscillating magnetic field takes significant role due to the spin-photon pumping effect, and the spin current can be generated by it even as ω0→0 for the tilt angle θ≠0. The peak and valley structure appears with respect to the frequency ω of oscillating field. The generation of spin current is companying with charge current. Spin current displays quite different appearance between the cases in the absence of source-drain bias (eV=0) and in the presence of source-drain bias (eV≠0). The symmetric spin current disappears to form asymmetric spin current with a negative valley and a positive plateau. The charge current is mainly determined by the source-drain bias, photon absorption, and spin-flip effect. This system can be employed as an ac charge-spin current generator, or ac charge-spin field effect transistor. Copyright EDP Sciences/Società Italiana di Fisica/Springer-Verlag 2005
