Kondo Resonance in the Presence of Spin-Polarized Currents
ORAL
Abstract
We propose an improved method of the equation of motion approach to study the Kondo problem in spin-dependent non-equilibrium conditions. We found that the previously introduced additional renormalization for non-equilibrium Kondo effects is not required when we use a proper decoupling scheme. Our improved formulation is then applied to address the spin-split Kondo peaks when a spin current injects into a Kondo system. We believe that this work significantly advances our understanding of the non-equilibrium Kondo physics, and our predictions of the Kondo resonance are timely for the application of non-equilibrium spin-related phenomena.
