The spin-Hall effect has recently attracted a lot of attention and a central question is whether the effect is due to the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction or due to spin-asymmetric scattering by extrinsic impurities. The objective of this…
The spin Seebeck effect is a spin-motive force generated by a temperature gradient in a ferromagnet that can be detected via normal metal contacts through the inverse spin Hall effect [K. Uchida {\it et al.}, Nature {\bf 455}, 778-781…
We study the spin Nernst effect of a mesoscopic four-terminal cross-bar device with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in the absence of a magnetic field. The interplay between the spin Nernst effect and the seebeck coefficient is…

When a charge current is injected into an altermagnet along a suitable crystallographic direction, a transverse spin current can be generated. This so-called spin-splitter effect does not rely on spin-orbit coupling, and is thus distinct…
In a collinear antiferromagnet with easy-axis anisotropy, symmetry guarantees that the spin wave modes are doubly degenerate. The two modes carry opposite spin angular momentum and exhibit opposite chirality. Using a honeycomb…
We show that the spin-orbit interaction induced by the boundary confining potential causes opposite spin accumulations on the transverse edges in a zonal two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of external longitudinal electric field.…

We investigate the time-dependent fluctuations of the electric current injected from a reservoir with a non-equilibrium spin accumulation into a mesoscopic conductor. We show how the current noise power directly reflects the magnitude of…
The Hall effect can be extended by inducing a temperature gradient in lieu of electric field that is known as the Nernst (-Ettingshausen) effect. The recently discovered spin Nernst effect in heavy metals continues to enrich the picture of…

We analyze spin-dependent transport through a spin-diode in the presence of spin-flip and under influence of temperature bias. The current polarization and the spin accumulation are investigated in detail by means of reduced density matrix.…
The extra heat generation in spin transport is usually interpreted in terms of the spin relaxation. By reformulating the heat generation rate, we found alternative current-force pairs without cross effects, which enable us to interpret the…
We investigate the spin-Nernst effect in time-reversal invariant topological superconductors, and show that it provides a smoking-gun evidence for helical Cooper pairs. The spin-Nernst effect stems from asymmetric, in spin space, scattering…
We have studied the evolution of the Spin Hall Effect in the regime where the material size responsible for the spin accumulation is either smaller or larger than the spin diffusion length. Lateral spin valve structures with Pt insertions…
An ensemble of spins oriented along the $z$ direction exhibits nonzero fluctuation in the transverse ($x$- and $y$-) components of the spin angular momentum in accordance with the uncertainty principle. When the spins obey a spin…

Spin transport driven by the temperature gradient in ferromagnetic metals is studied based on a microscopic theory. It is shown that the temperature gradient works as an effective field equivalent to the electric field as for both the spin…
