Spin pumping is an interfacial spin current generation from the ferromagnetic layer to the non-magnetic metal at its interface. The polarization of the pumped spin current $\textbf{J}_s \propto \textbf{m}\times \dot{\textbf{m}}$ depends on…

We consider a symmetric Anderson impurity model, with a soft-gap hybridization vanishing at the Fermi level with a power law r > 0. Three facets of the problem are examined. First the non-interacting limit, which despite its simplicity…
We theoretically study the spin-polarized transport through a single-molecule magnet, which is weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads, by means of the rate-equation approach. We consider both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic…

Impurities coupled to superconductors offer a controlled platform to understand the interplay between superconductivity, many-body interactions, and non-equilibrium physics. In the equilibrium situation, local interactions at the impurity…

Proposal for construction of a source of spin-polarized current based on quantum point contact with local spin-orbit interaction is presented. We show that spin-orbit interaction present within the narrowing acts like a spin filter. The…
A single-channel quantum wire with two well-separated Zeeman subbands and in the presence of a weak spin-orbit coupling is considered. An impurity level which is split off the upper subband is degenerate with the continuum of the lower…
Since the seminal works in the fifties it has been known that a bath of non-interacting electrons mediates an interaction between local moments (such as nuclear spins or magnetic impurities) coupled to distant sites of the lattice. Recent…
Nonlinear tunneling current through a quantum dot (an Anderson impurity system) subject to both constant and alternating electric fields is studied in the Kondo regime. A systematic diagram technique is developed for perturbation study of…
Properties of the "electron gas" - in which conduction electrons interact by means of Coulomb forces but ionic potentials are neglected - change dramatically depending on the balance between kinetic energy and Coulomb repulsion. The limits…
In ordinary metals, antiferromagnetic exchange between conduction electrons and a magnetic impurity leads to screening of the impurity spin below the Kondo temperature, $T_K$. In systems such as semimetals, small-gap semiconductors and…

It is well established that a correlated quantum impurity embedded in a metallic host can form the many-body Kondo state with itinerant electrons due to the effective antiferromagnetic coupling. Such effect is manifested spectroscopically…
