Switching of a quantum dot spin valve by single molecule magnets
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We explore theoretically the spin transport in nanostructures consisting of a gold quantum dot bridging nonmagnetic electrodes and two Mn${}_{12}$-Ph single molecule magnets (SMMs) that are thiol bonded to the dot but are not in direct contact with the electrodes. We find that reversal of the magnetic moment of either SMM by the application of a magnetic field leads to a large change in the resistance of the dot, i.e., a strong spin-valve effect. We show that this phenomenon arises from the following physical principle: The spin-dependent molecular orbitals that extend over the dot and both SMMs change drastically when the magnetic moment of either SMM is reversed, resulting in a large change in the conduction via those orbitals. The same physics may also be responsible for the spin-valve phenomena discovered recently in carbon nanotube quantum dots with rare-earth SMMs [M. Urdampilleta et al., Nat. Mater. 10, 502 (2011)].

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
