Spin Dynamics in Open Quantum Systems: A DLvN-TDDFT Approach
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
In this talk, I will present a spin-uncompensated driven Liouville-von Neumann methodology within the time-dependent density functional theory (DLvN-TDDFT) framework to model collinear electronic and spintronic transport in open quantum systems. After introducing and validating the approach, through benchmark simulations of spin-polarized transport in simple molecular junctions, I will demonstrate it for a magnetic zigzag graphene nanoribbon junction model under external electric fields. The simulation results reveal rich spin-resolved current dynamics, highlighting the DLvN-TDDFT framework as a promising tool for exploring dynamical spintronic phenomena in low-dimensional open quantum systems and circuitry.
