Spin seebeck coefficient of a molecular spin pump

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Within a generalized version of previously considered model of a molecular spin pump controlled by an external electric field [J. Fransson and M. Galperin, Phys. Rev. B, 2010, 81, 075311] we discuss thermal properties of such spintronic devices. The spin Seebeck coefficient of a molecular spin pump is introduced, and several possible definitions of a nonequilibrium Seebeck coefficient are discussed. The influence of inelastic effects in spin transport on its thermospintronic characteristics are demonstrated within numerical examples.
