We study the non-equilibrium regime of a mechanical resonator at low temperature realized with a suspended carbon nanotube quantum dot contacted to two ferromagnets. Due to spin- orbit interaction and/or an external magnetic gradient, the spin on the dot couples directly to the flexural eigenmodes. Owing to this interaction, the nanomechanical motion induces spin-flips of the electrons passing through the nanotube. When a finite voltage is applied, a spin-polarized current causes either heating or active cooling of the mechanical modes, depending on the gate voltage.

Optimal cooling is achieved at resonance transport realized when the energy splitting between two dot levels of opposite spin equals the resonator frequency. We show that weak interaction coupling strength and moderate polarization can achieve ground state cooling.

Beyond proving useful technologically as ultra- sensitive detectors of charge [1] and spin [2], nanoelec- tromechanical systems (NEMS) are also interesting for fundamental research as they can approach the quan- tum regime at low-temperature [3, 4]. Recent experi- ments showed that quantum effects are achievable with human fabricated mechanical oscillators coupled to su- perconducting microwaves resonators [5, 6] or to super- conducting Josephson junction qubits [7].

A special class of NEMS are suspended carbon nan- otubes quantum dots (CNT-QDs). With the improve- ment of techniques for preparing ultraclean sample, these systems emerged as a powerful tool for fundamental stud- ies in few electrons quantum dots [8] as, for instance, the coherent coupling between the electrons’s spin and its or- bital magnetic moments (spin-orbit interaction) [9]. In addition, they have also outstanding mechanical prop- erties as carbon nanoresonators can have frequencies in the rangeω∼MHz-GHz and yet large zero-point motion (u0 = p

~/(2mω) ∼ 10pm), making them ideal candi- dates for observing quantum mechanical effects in solid- objects formed by a macroscopic number of atoms [10].

In these systems, quantized vibrational modes appear in the electron tunneling in low temperature transport spectroscopy [11–13]. On the other hand, a clear demon- stration of quantum signatures for the flexural modes (flexons, similar to the motion of a guitar string) still re- mains a challenge [14], hindered by the difficulty of cool- ing such low-frequency mechanical modes to temperature below the quantum energy kBT < hf (f ∼100MHz → T ∼ 5mK). Although resonators of shorter length and higher frequency can partially solve the problem [15, 16], cooling flexons towards their quantum ground state with average phonon occupancy hni 1 can still remain a demanding achievement. This is the case even in devices operating at cryogenic temperatures and with suspended nanotubes of typical lengthL ∼1µm which allow flexi- ble gate-voltage control. If proved feasible, such a kind of quantum mechanical mode would be, as a matter of

principle, an ideal platform to test the decoherence and wave-function collapse theories in quantum states with displaced center of mass [17, 18] and the realization of mechanical qubits in buckled carbon nanotubes [19–22].

In this Letter, we show that the flexural modes in sus- pended CNT-QD can be efficiently cooled towards their quantum limit when a spin-polarized current is injected from ferromagnetic leads with opposite magnetization and when a vibrational spin-flip interaction is considered, see Fig. 1.

a small spin-phonon interaction can dominate and drives the oscillator towards to an out-of-equilibrium state ac- cording to the relation hni = (γ0n0 +γ n)/(γ0 +γ), in which hni is the average phonon occupation, n0 = 1/(exp(ω/T)− 1) is the bosonic thermal occupation (kB=~= 1), andγandnare, respectively, the damping and the effective phonon occupation induced by the mag- netic vibration-spin interaction. Previous studies have also proposed different schemas to obtain cooling of the flexural modes [25, 26].

The spin-valve system which we propose has two im- portant advantages. First, the spin is directly coupled to the vibration so that efficient ground state cooling is achieved even in the limit of small interaction coupling strength. Second, cooling to heating operational regime are electrically tunable, namely one can switch from one to another case by varying either the energy levels in the dot respect to the Fermi levels of the leads (gate volt- age) either the bias-voltage. In a similar way, one can pass from cooling to heating of the resonator by reversing the magnetic polarization, i.e. from antiparallel to par- allel configuration. Therefore such a system represents a first example towards the route of the thermal control of nanoresonators in spintronic molecular devices. As fol- lows we focus on the anti-parallel configuration and on the cooling regime.

Spin-vibration interaction.- Considering a single flexu- ral modes oscillating along the x−axis, a spin-vibration interaction occurs in CNT-QDs in way that the mechan- ical oscillation amplitude is linearly coupled to the spin, namely ˆHi=λˆσx(ˆbn+ˆbn). ˆσxis thex−component of the spin-operator (Pauli matrix) parallel to the mechanical motion and ˆbn and ˆbn are the bosonic operators associ- ated to the harmonic mode n with frequency ωn. This kind of interaction can be extrinsic or intrinsic.

In the first case, it arises from the relative motion of the suspended nanotube in a magnetic gradient added to the homogeneous magnetic field B [27] in a similar set-up used in Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy ex- periments [2, 28, 29] or in magnetized micro-cantilevers coupled to N-V centers in diamond [30, 31]. For small harmonic oscillations, one obtains λ ' µB(∂B/∂x)Xn

withµB the Bohr magneton, ∂B/∂xthe gradient along the tube’s z-axis, Xn = unhfn(z)i the amplitude of a single mode with frequency ωn, un = 1/√

2mωn, fn(z) the waveform of the vibrational mode andh iis averaged against the electron density for single orbital in the dot.

We estimatedλ∼MHz [32]. In the second case, even for vanishing magnetic field, the spin-orbit coupling due to the circumferential orbital motion mediates the interac- tion between the electron spin and the flexural vibration in CNT-QDs [33–35].

In one orbital (valley) subspace, the interaction coupling constant reads λ ' (∆so/2)dXn/dz with

S0 the spin-orbit coupling constant and dXn/dz = unhdfn(z)/dzi [32]. In this case, one can estimateλ ∼

2.5MHz [32, 34]. Finally, we notice that for a quantum dot formed in the nanotube with symmetric orbital elec- tronic density, the extrinsic (magnetic gradient) and the intrinsic (spin-orbit mediated) interactions couples vibra- tional modes of different parity.

In presence of magnetic fields, the four-fold degeneracy of a single QD shell can be also removed. In particular it is possible to tune the energy separation between two levels of opposite spins close to a crossing point [32, 34].

Hence, as these two spin-states of have energy separa- tion smaller than energy-spacing from the others, one can focus on the transport on this subspace [32]. This motivates us to the study a model Hamiltonian of the form (single mode)

Hˆ = ˆHel.+λˆσx(ˆb+ ˆb) +ωˆbˆb , (1) in which the electronic part of the system ˆHel. reads Hˆel.=X

The quantum dot formed in the suspended CNT contains two energy separated levels εσ = ε0+σεz/2 along the same direction of the polarization of the ferromagnetic electrodes. The operators ˆcα,k

σ (ˆcα,k

σ) and ˆd ( ˆd) are creation (annihilation) operators for the corresponding electronic statesk in the α= l, r (left/right) ferromag- netic leads and the dot states. For each ferromagnetic lead, one has a strong spin asymmetry in the density of states for the spins ρσα = ρα(1 +σpα)/2 with the spin polarization defined aspα= (ρ+α−ρα)/(ρ+αα). This asymmetry yields the spin dependence of the tunneling rates defined as Γσα=π|tα,σ|2ρσα= Γα(1 +σpα)/2.

Results.- The system is sketched in Fig. 1(a). The essential point of our proposal is that the nanotube oscil- lations (x−axis) are coupled to the same spin component in the quantum dot (x−axis) which is perpendicular the spin polarization of the injects electrons (y or z−axis).

Then spin-flip processes can occur in which one electron tunnels from one lead to the dot through the absorption or the emission of an energy quantum of the harmonic oscillator, as shown in Fig. 1(b).

The back-action force acting on the oscillator in Eq. (1) has four effects on the mechanical oscillator in the weak- coupling regime: i) an (irrelevant) displacement of the average position proportional to the average spin on the dot, ii) a renormalisation of the vibration frequency ∆ω, and iii) a damping of the mechanical motion with fric- tion coefficient γ. Moreover, at finite voltage, the spin- polarized current drives the oscillator towards a steady out-of-equilibrium regime in which the oscillator has an average occupationn6=n0.

To determineγandn, we exploited the Keldysh Green functions technique [36] to calculate the phonon propaga- torD=−ihTCu(t)ˆˆ ui, wherehTC idenotes the statistical

We solved the Dyson equation in which the self-energy associated to the spin-vibration coupling is calculated to the first order in λ[32]. At the end of the calculations, we checked that γ/ω 1 and ∆ω/ω 1 so that our approximation is self-consistent. The results are

The rates γαβs Eq. (4) appearing in the sum of the total damping γ Eq. (3) are associated to the inelastic processes for one spin flipping from theαtoβlead (s= + for the absorption ands=−for emission) . Example of the results are shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.

Discussion.- In order to simplify the discussions our results, we use some analytic approximations for the rates γlr±in the following. ForeV kBT, we can safely neglect the processes γrl± ' 0 for V > 0 and γ±lr ' 0 for V <

0, as electrons tunneling from the one lead are Pauli- blocked by the fact that the final energy levels on the opposite side are fully occupied, see Eq. (4). Moreover, for kBT Γ±l,r the Lorentzian functions appearing in Eqs. (4),(5) are treated asδ-function in the integral. We compared the exact resultnEqs. (4),(5) with the analytic approximations and we obtained an excellent agreement in a wide range of the parameters [32].

To gain insight into the problem, we start our discus- sion by the case of fully polarized ferromagnets (Γ+l = Γr = 0) with anti-parallel configuration pr = 1 =−pl . The results fornare reported in Fig. 2. Interestingly, for V <0, we also observed a region of instability where the total magnetic damping becomes negativeγ <0 for the configuration reported in Fig. 2. In this Letter we focus on the stability regionV >0.

For fully polarized ferromagnets, the diagonal rates vanish γll± = γrr± = 0, see Eq. (4), as the electron can not come back to its original lead after a spin-flip. In this case and for high-voltage limit, we have only two processes for the total damping isγ'γlr+−γlr and the expression ofnreduces to

(6) can be viewed as an average distribution resulting from two competing processes. and the out-of-equilibrium oc- cupation is completely ruled by the ratio γlr+lr. Al- though in the region of stability the total damping is always positive, namely γ+lrlr > 1, n has two strik- ing opposite behaviours: Forγlr+lr&1 the mechanical

We distinguish between two cases: i)εzωfor which we can discuss the single level transport regime and ii) εz . ω for which we can discuss the inelastic resonant transport.

An example of the first case is shown in Fig. 2(a). In Eq. (7) we can approximateT±2Γ/ε2z provided that εz Γ and the main difference between the two rates is ruled by the product of the electronic occupations. We find that n substantially depends on the alignment be- tween the average Fermi levelsµand the average energy of the dot’s levels ¯µ = µ−ε0: As hni is a symmetric function, we show only the case ¯µ >0. In this case the system switches from heatingn > n0 to cooling n < n0

close to the line (black dashed in Fig.2a ) correspond- ing to the alignment of the dot spin-down level with the chemical potential the up (righ) ferromagnet (see also Fig. 1b, lower panel). In the cooling region shown in Fig.2a, one achieve the regimeγlr+γlr as the emission process rate results strongly suppressed due the lower oc- cupation of the high-energy electrons in the left leads+ω as compared to the emissions processes involving elec- trons with lower energy−ω, inset left of Fig.2a. Any- way, increasing ¯µ, the emission processes becomes rele- vant as soon as high-energy electrons can tunnel by spin- flip into the dot, inset right of Fig.2a. Further increasing of ¯µ leads to the system to the heating condition γlr+ &

γlr. In this range, we estimated the maximum cooling for n(0)m ' [1−fr−ω)]/[fr−ω)−fr+ω)].

Similar discussion holds for ¯mu < 0 involving the spin- down level (see also Fig. 1b, upper panel).

The special case of resonant transport regime εz =ω for fully polarised ferromagnets is shown in Fig. 2(b), in which we consider also a finite dampingγ0. The be- havior of hni, which is almost independent of the volt- age gate ¯µ, can be again explained by Eqs. (7),(8): The strong cooling in the extended region is associated to the strong difference of the coefficients T±. Indeed, in the high-temperature limit of the oscillatorkBT ω , the minimum cooling estimated isnmin= Γ2/(4ω2)<1.

Effect of finite polarization.-We discuss now the effect of finite polarization. At given ¯µ= 0 the results fornare show in Fig. 3(a,b) as a function of the voltage for dif- ferent polarisation (we assume same polarisation for the

left and right lead p=pr=−pl). In Fig. 3(c) we show the minimum valuenmas a function of the polarisation for different ratio εz/ω. Even in this case, at arbitrary fixed polarisation, optimal cooling is always achieved for resonant regime ω = εz. A finite polarisation always reduces the minimum occupation achievable as nm is a decreasing function ofpindependent of the ratio εz/ω.

To discuss this reduction we consider the analytic high- voltage approximation

n' γlr+n0llrr) γlr+−γlrllrr

(9) where we set the short-notationγll,rrll,rr+ −γll,rr .

From Eq. (9) observe that the diagonal lead processes have the net effect to thermalize the oscillator. For in- stance, assuming a strong asymmetry of the leads, as for instance Γr'0 (Γl'0) we haveγlr±= 0: The dot is con- tacted only with one left (right) lead and the oscillator is always at the thermal equilibrium.

Conclusions.- In summary, we discussed a suspended CNT-QD forming a nano-mechanical spin-valve with a direct coupling between the quantum dot’s spin and the flexural modes. We calculate the non-equilibrium phonon occupationnshowing that ground state cooling is achiev- able with moderated spin-current polarisation and weak spin-vibration interaction. As example, considering the optimal resonate caseεz=ω , we obtainhnim'0.8 for p >0.25 with a quality factorQ'106 andλ/ω = 0.01.

A phonon occupation of hnim '0.8 is also achieved for Q'104andλ/ω= 0.05 and polarisationsp >0.35 (Fig.
