• Title: Giant spin current rectification due to the interplay of negative differential conductance and a non-uniform magnetic field
• Authors: Kang Hao Lee, Vinitha Balachandran, Ryan Tan, Chu Guo and Dario Poletti
• Abstract summary: In XXZ chains, spin transport can be significantly suppressed when the interactions in the chain and the bias of the dissipative driving are large enough. Here we show that this many-body effect, combined with a non-uniform magnetic field, can allow a high degree of control of the spin current.

• Abstract: In XXZ chains, spin transport can be significantly suppressed when the interactions in the chain and the bias of the dissipative driving are large enough. This phenomenon of negative differential conductance is caused by the formation of two oppositely polarized ferromagnetic domains at the edges of the chain. Here we show that this many-body effect, combined with a non-uniform magnetic field, can allow a high degree of control of the spin current. In particular, by studying all the possible combinations of a dichotomous local magnetic field, we found that a configuration in which the magnetic field points up for half of the chain and down for the other half, can result in giant spin-current rectification, for example up to $10^8$ for a system with $8$ spins. Our results show clear indications that the rectification can increase with the system size.

  Superconducting transmon qubits with strong anharmonicity and insensitivity to offset charge are desirable for low-error implementation. We propose a c-axis junction, comprising triplet superconductors, and set at a relative twist angle. In this architecture, the anomalous flux is determined by the twist angle of the junction, thereby offering a novel zero-field functionality.

  We study the physics of a toy multiferroic model by coupling two distinct dipolar XXZ models in transverse fields. We find that the spin-spin interactions lead to a sizeable quadratic shift in the oscillation frequency as the inter-chain coupling is increased. This suggests a limited control mechanism for faster information transfer in magnetic spin chains using electric fields that harnesses the electric dipoles as intermediaries.

  We show that giant magnetoresistance is possible in a spin chain composed of weakly interacting layers of strongly coupled spins. The mechanism driving the effect is a mismatch in the energy spectrum resulting in spin excitations being reflected at the boundaries between layers. A simple rule for determining the behavior of the spin transport under the influence of a magnetic field is presented.
