Prospect of building electronic devices in which electron spins store and transport information has revived interest in the spin relaxation of conduction electrons. Since spin-polarized currents cannot flow indefinitely, basic…
The interplay between spin and charge transport in electrically and magnetically inhomogeneous semiconductor systems is investigated theoretically. In particular, the theory of spin-polarized bipolar transport in magnetic p-n junctions is…
In the celebrated Stern-Gerlach experiment an inhomogeneous static magnetic field separates a beam of charge-neutral atoms with opposite spins, thereby driving a ``spin current" normal to the propagation direction. Here we generalize it to…
In magnets with non-collinear spin configuration the expectation value of the conventionally defined spin current operator contains a contribution which renormalizes an external magnetic field and hence affects only the precessional motion…
The transport of spin information has been studied in various materials, such as metals, semiconductors and graphene. In these materials, spin is transported by diffusion of conduction electrons. Here we study the diffusion and relaxation…
We consider a quasiclassical model that allows us to simulate the process of spin diffusion and relaxation in the presence of a highly nonuniform magnetic field. The energy of the slow relaxing spins flows to the fast relaxing spins due to…
The spin transport equations for polarized deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion plasma are derived with the density matrix formulation, which are used to investigate the hydrodynamics of polarized DT-gas-filled targets during indirectly driven…
We construct a novel scattering theory to investigate magnetoelectrically induced spin polarizations. Local spin polarizations generated by electric currents passing through a spin-orbit coupled mesoscopic system are measured by an external…
Spin transport typically relies on direct manipulation of the spin degree of freedom via magnetic fields, spin-orbit coupling, or engineered spin-dependent potentials. We show theoretically that directional spin currents can arise in a…
We propose a general theory of the spin-transfer effects that occur when current flows through inhomogeneous magnetic systems. Our theory does not rest on an appeal to conservation of total spin, can assess whether or not current-induced…
We theoretically propose the long-range spin transport mediated by the gapless surface states of topological Dirac semimetal (TDSM). Low-dissipation spin current is a building block of next-generation spintronics devices. While conduction…
Harnessing spins as carriers for information has emerged as an elegant extension to the transport of electrical charges. The coherence of such spin transport in spintronic circuits is determined by the lifetime of spin excitations and by…
We propose a spin transport experiment to measure the low-energy excitations in insulators with spin degrees of freedom, with a focus on detecting ground states that lack magnetic order. A general formalism to compute the spin-current from…
We find a specific mechanism of background spin currents in two-dimensional electron systems with spatially nonuniform spin-orbit interaction (SOI) at thermodynamic equilibrium, in particular, in the systems consisting of regions with and…
Anomalous transport in low dimensional spin chains is an intriguing topic that can offer key insights into the interplay of integrability and symmetry in many-body dynamics. Recent studies have shown that spin-spin correlations in spin…
Improved fabrication techniques have enabled the possibility of ballistic transport and unprecedented spin manipulation in ultraclean graphene devices. Spin transport in graphene is typically probed in a nonlocal spin valve and is analyzed…
We present a general unifying theory for spin polarization decay due to the interplay of spin precession and momentum scattering that is applicable to both spin-1/2 electrons and spin-3/2 holes. Our theory allows us to identify and…
In this work we analyze the simultaneous emergence of diffusive energy transport and local thermalization in a nonequilibrium one-dimensional quantum system, as a result of integrability breaking. Specifically, we discuss the local…
We discuss transport through an interferometer formed by helical edge states of the quantum spin Hall insulator. Focusing on effects induced by a strong magnetic impurity placed in one of the arms of interferometer, we consider the…
This paper presents the boundary conditions needed for drift-diffusion models to treat interfaces with spin-orbit coupling. Using these boundary conditions for heavy metal/ferromagnet bilayers, solutions of the drift-diffusion equations…
