摘要

We theoretically investigate the ground-state spin texture and spin transport properties of triangular rings with on-site spins S_1 = 1/2 (q = 1-3). In the limit of strong antiferromagnetic exchange coupling and weak spin-orbit coupling, we find it is possible to prepare a noncollinear degenerate ground state with a zero magnetic moment and a nonzero toroidal moment τ = gμ_B ∑_q r_q × S_q, aligned along the (C_3-symmetry axis. These pure toroidal states can be prepared: (ⅰ) within the fourfold degenerate spin-frustrated ground state even without any spin-orbit coupling: (ⅱ) within the ground Kramers doublet resulting from weak spin-orbit splitting of the fourfold degenerate frustrated manifold via Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya anti ferromagnetic exchange coupling. We also investigate the relationship between toroidal states and chiral spin states, characterized by the eigenvalues of the scalar spin chirality operator χ = 4/(3~(1/2))S_1·S_2 × S_3, and tind that, since [τ, χ] ≠ 0, it is not possible to prepare states that are both toroidal and chiral simultaneously. Finally, by setting up a quantum transport model in the Coulomb blockade regime, we find that a spin current injected through a spin-polarized source electrode into the triangle is partially reversed upon scattering with the molecular toroidal states. This spin-switching effect is. in fact, a signature of molecular spin-transfer torque, which can be harnessed to modify the nonequilibrium populations of the +τ- and -τ-toroidal states, thus, to induce a net toroidal magnetization in the device using a spin current.
