Spin transport via magnon diffusion in magnetic insulators is important for a broad range of spin-based phenomena and devices. However, the absence of the magnon equivalent of an electric force is a bottleneck. In this work, we demonstrate…

Similar to Weyl semimetals, in magnetic materials, magnon bands can host Weyl points, around which the bosonic excitations are called Weyl magnons. Here, we investigate the Klein tunneling of Weyl magnons, during the process of which Weyl…

We consider spin-dependent tunneling through a gallium arsenide barrier, a material which has no inversion symmetry. We are dealing with free electrons, with one effective mass and a spin-splitting in the barrier material. When we take into…
