Using the density matrix method, quantum rate equations for the electronic occupation numbers in the quantum dot are obtained and solved in the stationary state limit for a wide set of setup parameters. Both charge and spin current are expressed explicitly in terms of several relevant parameters and analyzed in detail. The results suggest a way of optimizing experimental setup parameters to obtain an maximal spin current without the charge current flow.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-04-18T10:41:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum dot", "oscillating magnetic field", "pumping current", "density matrix method", "electronic occupation numbers" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
