Abstract

We investigate thermally driven electronic transport through a single-molecule magnet (SMM) coupled to a ferromagnetic (FM) lead and a normal-metallic lead. Due to the thermal spin-transfer torque effect, the orientation of the SMM’s spin can be manipulated by temperature bias or gate voltage to be parallel or antiparallel to the FM lead’s magnetization. The present device can be realized by current technologies and has potential application in molecular spintronics or quantum information processing.
