Spin Polarization and Magneto-Coulomb Oscillations in Ferromagnetic Single Electron Devices
The magneto-Coulomb oscillation, the single electron repopulation induced by
external magnetic field, observed in a ferromagnetic single electron transistor
is further examined in various ferromagnetic single electron devices. In case
of double- and triple-junction devices made of Ni and Co electrodes, the single
electron repopulation always occurs from Ni to Co electrodes with increasing a
magnetic field, irrespective of the configurations of the electrodes. The
period of the magneto-Coulomb oscillation is proportional to the single
electron charging energy. All these features are consistently explained by the
mechanism that the Zeeman effect induces changes of the Fermi energy of the
ferromagnetic metal having a non-zero spin polarizations. Experimentally
determined spin polarizations are negative for both Ni and Co and the magnitude
is larger for Ni than Co as expected from band calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, uses jpsj.sty, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Antisymmetrized molecular dynamics of wave packets with stochastic incorporation of Vlasov equation
On the basis of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) of wave packets
for the quantum system, a novel model (called AMD-V) is constructed by the
stochastic incorporation of the diffusion and the deformation of wave packets
which is calculated by Vlasov equation without any restriction on the one-body
distribution. In other words, the stochastic branching process in molecular
dynamics is formulated so that the instantaneous time evolution of the averaged
one-body distribution is essentially equivalent to the solution of Vlasov
equation. Furthermore, as usual molecular dynamics, AMD-V keeps the many-body
correlation and can naturally describe the fluctuation among many channels of
the reaction. It is demonstrated that the newly introduced process of AMD-V has
drastic effects in heavy ion collisions of 40Ca + 40Ca at 35 MeV/nucleon,
especially on the fragmentation mechanism, and AMD-V reproduces the
fragmentation data very well. Discussions are given on the interrelation among
the frameworks of AMD, AMD-V and other microscopic models developed for the
nuclear dynamics.Comment: 26 pages, LaTeX with revtex and epsf, embedded postscript figure
Using single quantum states as spin filters to study spin polarization in ferromagnets
By measuring electron tunneling between a ferromagnet and individual energy
levels in an aluminum quantum dot, we show how spin-resolved quantum states can
be used as filters to determine spin-dependent tunneling rates. We also observe
magnetic-field-dependent shifts in the magnet's electrochemical potential
relative to the dot's energy levels. The shifts vary between samples and are
generally smaller than expected from the magnet's spin-polarized density of
states. We suggest that they are affected by field-dependent charge
redistribution at the magnetic interface.Comment: 4 pages, 1 color figur
