We investigate the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interference pattern in the electron transmission through a mesoscopic ring in which two identical non-interacting magnetic impurities are embedded. Adopting a quantum waveguide theory, we derive the…
We introduce a distinctive feature of spin-polarized transport, the Spin Coulomb Drag: there is an intrinsic source of friction for spin currents due to the Coulomb interaction between spin ``up'' and spin ``down'' electrons. We calculate…
We study the non-equilibrium noise in mesoscopic diffusive wires hosting magnetic impurities. We find that the shot-noise to current ratio develops a peak at intermediate source-drain biases of the order of the Kondo temperature. The…
Persistent, oscillatory charge and spin currents are shown to be driven by a two-component terahertz laser pulse in a one-dimensional mesoscopic ring with Rashba-Dresselhaus spin orbit interactions (SOI) linear in the electron momentum. The…
We address the electronic structure of the surface states of topological insulator thin films with embedded local non-magnetic and magnetic impurities. Using the $T$-matrix expansion of the real space Green's function, we derive the local…
We demonstrate that spin supercurrents are conserved upon transmission through a conventional superconductor, even in the presence of spin-dependent scattering by impurities with magnetic moments or spin-orbit coupling. This is…
We solve appropriate drift-diffusion and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations to demonstrate that unpolarized current flow from a non-magnet into a ferromagnet can produce a precession-type instability of the magnetization. The fundamental…
We undertake an in-depth analysis of the magneto-transport properties in mesoscopic single-channel rings and multi-channel cylinders within a tight-binding formalism. The main focus of this review is to illustrate how the long standing…
We investigate the persistent current in a hybrid Aharonov-Bohm ring - quantum dot system coupled to a reservoir which provides spin fluctuations. It is shown that the spin exchange interaction between the quantum dot and the reservoir…
By generalizing the usual current density to a matrix with respect to spin variables, a general equation of continuity satisfied by the density matrix and current density matrix has been derived. This equation holds in arbitrary spin-orbit…
Typical persistent current ($I_{typ}$) in a normal metal ring with disorder due to random grain boundaries and rough edges is calculated microscopically. If disorder is due to the rough edges, a ballistic current $I_{typ}\simeq e v_F/L$ is…
A formula of the spin current in mesoscopic superconductors is derived from the mean-field theory of superconductivity. The spin flow is generated by the spatial fluctuations of $\vec{d}$ which represents a spin state of spin-triplet…
We present a semiclassical theory of spin-diffusion in a ferromagnetic metal subject to a temperature gradient. Spin-flip scattering can generate pure thermal spin currents by short-circuiting spin channels while suppressing spin…
We study the current magnification effect in presence of exchange scattering of electron from a magnetic impurity placed in one arm of an open mesoscopic ring. The exchange interaction causes entanglement of electron spin and impurity spin.…
Analogous to circular spin current in an isolated quantum loop, bias induced spin circular current can also be generated under certain physical conditions in a nanojunction having single and/or multiple loop geometries which we propose…
We use the exact correlation function of the density of energy levels in the magnetic field to evaluate persistent currents in mesoscopic metals. We also analyze the perturbation theory limit of the correlation function vis-a-vis the…
Using the properties of the transfer matrix of one-dimensional quantum mechanical systems, we derive a technique to exactly compute the persistent current across a hybrid normal-superconducting-mesoscopic ring pierced by a magnetic flux Phi…
The persistent spin current in anisotropic spin ring penetrated by a SU(2) flux is studied by the Schwinger-boson mean field approach. The anisotropy in spin coupling can facilitate the persistent spin current. Ground-state energy and…
In the present article we perform analytical and numerical calculations related to persistent currents in 2D isolated mesoscopic annular cavities threaded by a magnetic flux. The system considered has a high number of open channels and…
The effect of spin-orbit interaction on persistent currents in mesoscopic Hubbard rings threaded by an Aharonov-Bohm flux is investigated putting stress on the orbital magnetism. The non-perturbative treatment of the spin-orbit interaction…
