Pure spin current with interacting quantum dots — •David Futterer1, Michele Governale2, and Jürgen König11Theoretische Physik, Universität Duisburg Essen and CeNIDE, D-47048 Duisburg, Germany — 2School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand

We investigate sub-gap transport through an interacting quantum dot tunnel coupled to a superconducting, a ferromagnetic and a normal conducting lead. Despite the tendency of a large charging energy to suppress the equilibrium proximity effect on the dot, a finite Andreev current can be achieved in non-equilibrium situations. Due to the coupling to a ferromagnet, spin can accumulate on the dot. We find situations in which a pure spin current, that is zero charge current together with a finite spin current, occurs in the normal lead. For our calculation we apply a real-time transport theory [1,2].
