Magnon spin Hall systems could hardly show experimentally observable particle and thermal transport phenomena intrinsically due to the spin cancellation. Here we demonstrated that the magnon spin Hall systems can exhibit magnon Nernst…

The quantum Hall regime in a smooth random potential is considered when two disorder-broadened Zeeman levels overlap strongly. Spin-orbit coupling is found to cause a drastic change in the percolation network which leads to a strong…
