Transport and Energetic Properties of a Ring of Interacting Spins Coupled to Heat Baths

We study the heat and spin transport properties in a ring of interacting spins coupled to heat baths at different temperatures. We show that interactions, by inducing avoided crossings, can be a means to tune both the total heat current flowing between the ring and the baths, and the way it flows th...
