Abstract

Quantum dot spin valves are characterized by exchange fields which induce spin precession and generate current spin resonances even in the absence of spin splitting. Analogous effects have been studied in double quantum dots, in which the orbital degree of freedom, the pseudospin, replaces the spin in the valve configuration. We generalize, now, this setup to allow for arbitrary spin and orbital polarization of the leads, thus obtaining an even richer variety of current resonances, stemming from the precession dynamics of entangled spin and pseudospin. We observe for both vectors a delicate interplay of decoherence, pumping, and precession which can only be understood by also considering the dynamics of the spin-pseudospin correlators. The numerical results are obtained in the framework of a generalized master equation within the cotunneling approximation and are complemented by the analytics of a coherent sequential tunneling model.
