This study introduces a new method using Majorana fermions to calculate spin dynamics in quantum dots. The research reveals that spin relaxation and susceptibility are voltage-dependent, particularly at weak coupling.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Spintronics

Background:

  • Investigating the dynamic spin correlation and susceptibility of local moments is crucial in condensed matter physics.
  • Understanding spin dynamics in quantum systems, especially under nonequilibrium conditions, presents significant theoretical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a direct method for obtaining dynamic spin correlation and susceptibility from the one-particle Majorana propagator.
  • To apply this method to study the spin dynamics of a nonequilibrium quantum dot.
  • To investigate the voltage dependence of spin relaxation rate and susceptibility in quantum dots.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the Majorana fermion representation of spin-1/2 local moments.
  • Directly calculating dynamic spin correlation and susceptibility from the one-particle Majorana propagator.
