Charge, spin and valley pumping in silicene junction

The feasibility of generating polarized and unpolarized current in silicene by means of quantum pumping is discussed within the framework of Floquet scattering matrix. Charge pumping current is induced at zero magnetization splitting whereas spin and valley pumping current emerge when the symmetry between Dirac points K and K ′ is broken. The intensity and direction of pumped current are shown to be dependent on pumping amplitude, phase between barriers, exchange energy and electric field. By careful control of external parameters, it is demonstrated that the ferromagnetic-silicene junction could be operated as a pump device that generates pure spin and valley pumping current.
