Abstract
We discuss the spin, the angular momentum, and the magnetic moment of rotating chiral fermions using a kinetic theory. We find that, in addition to the chiral vortical contribution along the rotation axis, finite circular spin polarization is induced by the spin-momentum correlation of chiral fermions, which is canceled by a change in the orbital angular momentum. We point out that the eddy magnetic moment is nonvanishing due to the -factors, exhibiting the chiral Barnett effect.
