We introduce a previously unknown spin-related transport phenomenon, consisting in a transformation (swapping) of spin currents, in which the spin direction and the direction of flow are interchanged. Swapping is due to the spin-orbit…

Spin waves can transport both energy and angular momentum over long distances as they propagate. However, due to damping, their amplitude decreases exponentially as they move away from the source, leaving little capability for manipulating…
