We study the intrinsic scattering of phonons by a general quantum degree of freedom, i.e. a fluctuating "field" $Q$, which may have completely general correlations, restricted only by unitarity and translational invariance. From the induced…
Thermoelectric phenomena in magnetic materials present tantalizing possibilities for manipulating spin-information using heat in future 'spin caloritronic' devices. Key to unraveling their underlying physics is to understand spin-lattice…
A thermal Hall effect is observed in an increasing number of insulators often attributed to phonons, but the underlying mechanism is in most cases unknown. A coupling of phonons to spins has been invoked and scattering of phonons by…
By analyzing the spin-group symmetry of magnons, we establish two generalized Onsager's relations in the magnon thermal Hall effect, which reveals the rich and complicated structures of the magnon Berry curvature in the parameter space of…
The possible occurrence of nonreciprocal acoustic effects in antiferromagnets in the absence of an external magnetic field is investigated using both (i) a microscopic formulation of the magnetoelastic interaction between spins and phonons…
We derive a formula for the thermal conductivity tensor of a ballistic phonon Hall model. It is found that, although the diagonal elements of the conductivity tensor diverge to infinite, the off-diagonal elements are finite,antisymmetric,…
The recent observation of a half-integer quantized thermal Hall effect in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ is interpreted as a unique signature of a chiral spin liquid with a Majorana edge mode. A similar quantized thermal Hall effect is expected in…
The phonon Hall effect conventionally describes the generation of a transverse heat current in an applied magnetic field. In this work, we extend the effect to hybrid light-matter excitations and demonstrate theoretically that phonon…
Recent studies have demonstrated that the thermal Hall effect can originate from magnons (magnon Hall effect), phonons (phonon Hall effect), or their combination (magnon-polaron Hall effect). The magnon-polaron Hall effect, first observed…
Due to the dispersion of optical phonons, long range electron-phonon correlations renormalize downwards the coupling strength in the Holstein model. We evaluate the size of this effect both in a linear chain and in a square lattice for a…
The transition probability for a one dimensional tunneling electron coupled to acoustical phonons is calculated, with the Feynman path-integral method for zero temperature. We considered a realistic electron phonon interaction (deformation…
The phonon induced anomalous Hall or thermal Hall effects have been observed in various systems in recent experiments. However, the theoretical studies on this subject are very scarce and incomplete. In this work, we present a systematic…
The phonon thermal Hall effect (THE) is a ubiquitous yet poorly understood phenomenon in insulators. Its microscopic origin remains debated, partly due to significant sample-dependent variations that hint at uncontrolled experimental…
Motivated by recent phonon spectroscopy experiments in the fractional quantum Hall regime we consider processes in which thermally excited magnetoroton excitations are scattered by low energy phonons. We show that such scattering processes…
It has recently become clear that phonons generate a sizable thermal Hall effect in cuprates, whether they are undoped, electron-doped or hole-doped (inside the pseudogap phase). At higher doping, where cuprates are reasonably good metals,…
When phonons couple to fermions in 2D semimetals, the interaction may turn the system into an insulator. There are several insulating phases in which the time reversal and the sublattice symmetries are spontaneously broken. Examples are…
Motivated by recent experiments on the phonon contribution to the thermal Hall effect in the cuprates, we present an analysis of chiral phonon transport. We assume the chiral behavior arises from a non-zero phonon Hall vicosity, which is…
Motivated by experimental observations, Samajdar et al. [Nature Physics 15, 1290 (2019)] have proposed that the insulating Neel state in the parent compounds of the cuprates is proximate to a quantum phase transition to a state in which…
We performed a finite-temperature quantum Monte Carlo simulation of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with nearest-neighbor interaction coupled to Einstein phonons. Our method allows to treat easily up to 100 phonons per site…
Spin Hall effect is the transverse flow of the electron spin in conductors under external electric field. Similarly, thermal gradient in magnetic insulators can drive a transverse flow of the spin angular momentum of magnons, which provides…
