abstract = {We revisit the transport of spin-degrees of freedom across
an electrically and thermally biased tunnel junction between
two ferromagnets with noncollinear magnetizations. Besides
the well-known charge current and spin current we show that
a nonzero spin-quadrupole current flows between the
ferromagnets. This tensor-valued current describes the
nonequilibrium transport of spin anisotropy relating to both
local and nonlocal multiparticle spin correlations of the
circuit. This quadratic spin anisotropy, quantified in terms
of the spin-quadrupole moment, is fundamentally a
two-electron quantity. In spin valves with an embedded
quantum dot such currents have been shown to result in a
quadrupole accumulation that affects the measurable quantum
dot spin and charge dynamics. The spin-valve model studied
here allows fundamental questions about spin-quadrupole
storage and transport to be worked out in detail, while
ignoring the detection by a quantum dot. The physical
understanding of this particular device is of importance for
more complex devices where spin-quadrupole transport can be
detected. We demonstrate that, as far as storage and
transport are concerned, the spin anisotropy is only partly
determined by the spin polarization. In fact, for a
thermally biased spin valve the charge current and spin
current may vanish, while a pure exchange spin-quadrupole
current remains, which appears as a fundamental consequence
of Pauli's principle. We extend the real-time diagrammatic
approach to efficiently calculate the average of
multiparticle spin observables, in particular the
spin-quadrupole current. Although the paper addresses only
leading-order and spin-conserving tunneling, we formulate
the technique for arbitrary order in an arbitrary,
spin-dependent tunnel coupling in a way that lends itself to
extension to quantum-dot spin-valve structures.},
