The spin Nernst effect is a phenomenon in which the spin current flows perpendicular to a temperature gradient. Similar to the spin Hall effect, this phenomenon also causes spin accumulation at the boundaries. Here, we study the spin…

The spins, which are accumulated at a boundary of a nanomagnet due to the Spin Hall effect, induce a magnetic field, which tilts the nanomagnet magnetization out of its easy axis. Even though this magnetic field is relatively small (about…
Spin Hall effects interconvert spin- and charge currents due to spin-orbit interaction, which enables convenient electrical generation and detection of diffusive spin currents and even collective spin excitations in magnetic solids. Here,…
The inductance of spintronic devices that transport charge neutral spin currents is discussed. It is known that in a media that contains charge neutral spins, a time-varying electric field induces a spin current. We show that since the spin…
