Spin-dependent pump current and noise in an adiabatic quantum pump based on domain walls in a magnetic nanowire

TL;DR: In this article, the pump current and noise properties in an adiabatically modulated magnetic nanowire with double domain walls (DWs) were studied, and it was shown that pump current, shot noise, and heat flow show peaks when the Fermi energy matches with the spin-split resonant levels localized between the DWs.
