Abstract

In the present paper the study of inertial spin current(that appears in an accelerated frame of reference) is extended to Non-Commutative (NC) space. The θ\theta-dependence, (θ\theta being the NC parameter), of the inertial spin current is derived explicitly. We have provided yet another way of experimentally measuring θ\theta. Our bound on θ\theta matches with previous results. In Hamiltonian framework, the Dirac Hamiltonian in an accelerating frame is computed in the low energy regime by exploiting the Foldy-Wouthuysen scheme. The NC θ\theta-effect appears from the replacement of normal products and commutators by Moyal *-products and *-commutators. In particular, the commutator between the external magnetic vector potential and the potential induced by acceleration becomes non-trivial. Expressions for θ\theta-corrected inertial spin current and conductivity are derived. The θ\theta bound is obtained from the out of plane spin polarization, which is experimentally observable.
