Abstract
Self-sustained current oscillation observed in spin-blockaded double quantum dots is explained as a consequence of periodic motion of dynamically polarized nuclear spins (along a limit cycle) in the spin-blockaded regime under an external magnetic field and a spin-transfer torque. It is shown, based on the Landau-Lifshtz-Gilbert equation, that a sequence of semistable limit cycle, Hopf and homoclinic bifurcations occurs as the external field is tuned. The divergent period near the homoclinic bifurcation explains well why the period in the experiment is so long and varies by many orders of magnitudes.
