We consider a strongly interacting quantum dot connected to two leads held at quite different temperatures. Our aim is to study the behavior of the Kondo effect in the presence of large thermal biases. We use three different approaches,…
We investigate the relation between thermal spin-transfer torque (TSTT) and the spin-dependent Seebeck effect (SDSE), which produces a spin current when a temperature gradient is applied across a metallic ferromagnet, in nanopillar metallic…
The purpose of this work is to present the concept of an autonomous Stirling-like engine powered by anisotropy of thermodynamic fluctuations. Specifically, simultaneous contact of a thermodynamic system with two heat baths along coupled…
All-solid-state nanoscale devices capable of efficiently controlling a heat flow are crucial for advanced thermal management technologies. Here we predict a magnon-driven magnetothermal resistance (mMTR) effect in multilayers of…
Soft nanosystems are electronic nanodevices, such as suspended carbon nanotubes or molecular junctions, whose transport properties are modulated by soft internal degrees of freedom, for example slow vibrational modes. In this review,…
We investigate cooling of a vibrational mode of a magnetic quantum dot by a spin-polarized tunneling charge current, exploiting the interaction between the magnetization and the vibration. The spin-polarized charge current polarizes the…
We investigate a simple model corresponding to particles driven in opposite directions and interacting via a repulsive potential. The particles move off-lattice on a periodic strip and are subject to random forces as well. We show that this…
The main idea of magnetic hyperthermia is to increase locally the temperature of the human body by means of injected superparamagnetic nanoparticles. They absorb energy from a time-dependent external magnetic field and transfer it into…
Low-temperature-differential (LTD) Stirling heat engines are able to operate with a small temperature difference between low-temperature heat reservoirs that exist in our daily lives, and thus they are considered to be an important…
The interaction between a spin polarized dc electrical current and spin wave modes of a cylindrical nanowire is investigated in this report. We found that close to the critical current, the uniform mode is suppressed, while the edge mode…
Using exact diagonalization, Monte-Carlo, and mean-field techniques, characteristic temperature scales for ferromagnetic order are discussed for the Ising and the classical anisotropic Heisenberg model on finite lattices in one and two…
We establish theoretically that in nonmagnetic semiconducting bilayer or multilayer thin film systems rolled up into compact quasi-one-dimensional nanoarchitectures, the ballistic magnetoresistance is very anisotropic: conductances depend…
We propose a device that can operate as a magneto-resistive switch or oscillator. The device is based on a spin-thermo-electronic control of the exchange coupling of two strong ferromagnets through a weakly ferromagnetic spacer. We show…
Nonlinear devices, such as transistors, enable contemporary computing technologies. We theoretically investigate nonlinear effects, bearing a high fundamental scientific and technical relevance, in magnonics with emphasis on…
We describe a minimal model, based on a spin only Hamiltonian with a single energy scale for itinerant electron metamagnetism. Within this model the metamagnetic critical field is directly proportional to the temperature where a peak in the…
Thermoelectric effects in spintronics are gathering increasing attention as a means of managing heat in nanoscale structures and of controlling spin information by using heat flow. Thermal magnons (spin-wave quanta) are expected to play a…
Thermal transmission in a molecular transistor with fully spin-polarized electrodes subjected to a temperature gradient is considered. The problem has been solved by using density matrix method in perturbation approach over small tunneling…
Magnetoresistance oscillations were observed on networks of superconducting ultrathin Nb nanowires presenting evidences of either thermal or quantum activated phase slips. The magnetic transport data, discussed in the framework of different…
Oscillating behaviour of the susceptibility and heat capacity is considered for normal and superconducting mesoscopic systems (nanoclusters and quantum dots). It is proved that at low temperature an increasing magnetic field applied to a…
