Using a density matrix formulation for the effective action, we obtain a set of macroscopic equations that describe spin accumulation in a non-homogeneous ferromagnet. We give a new expression for the spin current which extends previous…

Motivated by recent experiments [Vera-Marun et al., arXiv:1109.5969], we formulate a non-linear theory of spin transport in quantum coherent conductors. We show how a mesoscopic constriction with energy-dependent transmission can convert a…

Quantum transport through single molecules is very sensitive to the strength of the molecule-electrode contact. When a molecular junction weakly coupled to external electrodes, charging effects do play an important role (Coulomb blockade…

We present the implementation of spinor quantum transport within the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) code TranSIESTA based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). First-principles methods play an essential role in molecular and material…

We study non-equilibrium electron transport through a quantum dot coupled to metallic leads. We use an alternative equation of motion approach in which we calculate the retarded Green function of the impurity by differentiating Green…

We present a Green's function method for the evaluation of the particle density profile and of the higher moments of the one-body density matrix in a mesoscopic system of N Fermi particles moving independently in a linear potential. The…

We study the equilibrium and nonequilibrium electronic transport properties of multiprobe topological systems using a combination of the Landauer-B\"uttiker approach and nonequilibrium Green's functions techniques. We obtain general…

Based on the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green's function technique we present a computational scheme for calculating the electronic structure of layered systems with homogeneous spin-spiral magnetic state. From the self-consistent…

The many-body Green's function theory with the random-phase approximation is applied to the study of easy-plane spin-1/2 ferromagnets in an in-plane magnetic field. We demonstrate that the usual procedure, in which only the three Green's…

The non-equilibrium transportation of two-dimensional electrons through a narrow channel is investigated under the influence of the Rashba interaction. By introducing suitable lifetime in the Green's function, the average spin values can be…

Using a pure electric current to control kagome noncollinear antiferromagnets is promising in information storage and processing, but a full description is still lacking, in particular, on intrinsic (i.e., no external magnetic fields or…

Computationally inexpensive approximations describing electron-phonon scattering in molecular-scale conductors are derived from the non-equilibrium Green's function method. The accuracy is demonstrated with a first principles calculation on…

We propose a scheme to extract the many-body spectral function of an interacting many-electron system from an equilibrium density functional theory (DFT) calculation. To this end we devise an ideal STM-like setup and employ the recently…

We propose a method for the evaluation of magnetic exchange couplings based on noncollinear spin-density functional calculations. The method employs the second derivative of the total Kohn-Sham energy of a single reference state, in…

In these lecture notes we study the disordered two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling, by using the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green function technique. We describe the effects of the spin-orbit coupling in…

A spin metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (spin MOSFET), which combines a Schottky-barrier MOSFET with ferromagnetic source and drain contacts, is a promising device for spintronic logic. Previous simulation studies predict…

We present a semilocal exchange-correlation energy functional for noncollinear spin density functional theory based on short-range expansions of the spin-resolved exchange hole and the two-body density matrix. Our functional is explicitly…

The carrier generation in insulators subjected to strong electric fields is characterized by the Landau-Zener formula for the tunneling probability with a nonperturbative exponent. Despite its long history with diverse applications and…

We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a mesoscopic metallic ring threaded by a time-dependent magnetic field and coupled to an electronic reservoir. We analyze the relation between the (non-stationary) real-time Keldysh and retarded Green…

A domain wall (DW) which moves parallel to a magnetically compensated interface between an antiferromagnetic insulator (AFMI) and a two-dimensional (2D) metal can pump spin polarization into the metal. It is assumed that localized spins of…
