• Abstract summary: We study the spin-dependent transport properties in a noncolinear antiferromagnetic fractal structure, namely, the Sierpinski (SPG) triangle. We find that though the spin-up and spin-down currents are different, the degree of spin polarization is too weak. Finally, we come up with a proposal, where the degree of spin polarization can be enhanced significantly in the presence of a time-periodic driving field.

• Abstract: Noncolinear magnetic texture breaks the spin-sublattice symmetry which gives rise to a spin-splitting effect. Inspired by this, we study the spin-dependent transport properties in a noncolinear antiferromagnetic fractal structure, namely, the Sierpinski Gasket (SPG) triangle. We find that though the spin-up and spin-down currents are different, the degree of spin polarization is too weak. Finally, we come up with a proposal, where the degree of spin polarization can be enhanced significantly in the presence of a time-periodic driving field. Such a prescription of getting spin-filtering effect from an unpolarized source in a fractal network is completely new to the best of our knowledge. Starting from a higher generation of SPG to smaller ones, the precise dependencies of driving field parameters, spin-dependent scattering strength, interface sensitivity on spin polarization are critically investigated. The spatial distribution of spin-resolved bond current density is also explored. Interestingly, our proposed setup exhibits finite spin polarization for different spin-quantization axes. Arbitrarily polarized light is considered and its effect is incorporated through Floquet-Bloch ansatz. All the spin-resolved transport quantities are computed using Green's function formalism following the Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker prescription. The present work brings forth new insights into spintronic properties of noncolinear antiferromagnetic SPG and should entice the AFM spintronic community to explore other fractal structures with the possibility of unconventional features.

  We recast the primary mechanism for spin readout in semiconductor-based quantum computers as polarimetry.

  Recent studies report spin-relaxation times T1 up to 50ms with strong magnetic field dependence. In out-of-plane magnetic field, the observed zero-field current peak could arise from finite-temperature co-tunneling with the leads. In in-plane magnetic field, we observe a zero-field current dip, attributed to the competition between the spin Zeeman effect and the Kane-Mele spin-orbit interaction.

  Key factors that determine the substrate effect on spin relaxation have not been well understood. We show that the prototypical effects of different substrates on spin lifetime can surprisingly differ by two orders of magnitude. We propose a new electronic quantity, named spin-flip angle $thetauparrowdownarrow$, to characterize spin relaxation caused by intervalley spin-flip scattering.
