An electric current from a ferromagnet into a non-magnetic material can induce a spin-dependent electron temperature. Here it is shown that this spin heat accumulation, when created by tunneling from a ferromagnet, produces a non-negligible…

We consider theoretically transport in a spinfull one-channel interacting quantum wire placed in an external magnetic field. For the case of two point-like impurities embedded in the wire, under a small voltage bias the spin-polarized…

A current problem in semiconductor spin-based electronics is the difficulty of experimentally expressing the effect of spin-polarized current in electrical circuit measurements. We present a theoretical solution with the principle of…

Spin pumping is an interfacial spin current generation from the ferromagnetic layer to the non-magnetic metal at its interface. The polarization of the pumped spin current $\textbf{J}_s \propto \textbf{m}\times \dot{\textbf{m}}$ depends on…

The Edelstein effect occurring in systems with broken inversion symmetry generates a spin polarization when an electric field is applied, which is most advantageous in spintronics applications. Unfortunately, it became apparent that this…

We find extraordinary behavior of the local two-terminal spin accumulation signals in ferromagnet (FM)/semiconductor (SC) lateral spin-valve devices. With respect to the bias voltage applied between two FM/SC Schottky tunnel contacts, the…

Electron tunneling between superconductors and normal metals has been used for an efficient refrigeration of electrons in the latter. Such cooling is a non-linear effect and usually requires a large voltage. Here we study the electron…

We present a semiclassical theory of spin-diffusion in a ferromagnetic metal subject to a temperature gradient. Spin-flip scattering can generate pure thermal spin currents by short-circuiting spin channels while suppressing spin…

We show that an initially unpolarized electron flow acquires spin polarization after passing through a lateral barrier in two-dimensional (2D) system with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) even if the current is directed normally to the barrier.…

We present a theoretical model that describes electrical spin-detection at a ferromagnet/semiconductor interface. We show that the sensitivity of the spin detector has strong bias dependence which, in the general case, is dramatically…

Noninteracting electrons confined to a corrugated surface are investigated in magnetic field, and the associated effective Pauli equation is given analytically by the thin-layer quantization scheme. Interestingly, the Zeeman splitting gaps…

Semiconductor point contacts can be a useful tool for producing spin-polarized currents in the presence of spin-orbit (SO) interaction. Neither magnetic fields nor magnetic materials are required. By numerical studies, we show that (i) the…

The tunneling splitting of the energy levels of a ferromagnetic particle in the presence of an applied magnetic field - previously derived only for the ground state with the path integral method - is obtained in a simple way from…

Electrically controlled rotation of spins in a semiconducting channel is a prerequisite for the successful realization of many spintronic devices, like, e.g., the spin field effect transistor (sFET). To date, there have been only a few…

A domain wall separating two oppositely magnetized regions in a ferromagnetic semiconductor exhibits, under appropriate conditions, strongly nonlinear I-V characteristics similar to those of a p-n diode. We study these characteristics as…

We present a comprehensive theory of spin transport in a non-degenerate semiconductor that is in contact with multiple ferromagnetic terminals. The spin dynamics in the semiconductor is studied during a perturbation of a general,…

We theoretically propose a nonreciprocal spin Seebeck effect, i.e., nonreciprocal spin transport generated by a temperature gradient, in antiferromagnetic insulators with broken inversion symmetry. We find that nonreciprocity in…

A class of antiferromagnets with spin-polarized electron bands, yet zero net magnetization, called altermagnets is attracting increasing attention due to their potential use in spintronics. Here, we study spin injection into an altermagnet…

Conversion of heat into a spin-current in electron doped silicon can offer a promising path for spin-caloritronics. Here we create an electron spin polarization in the conduction band of n-type silicon by producing a temperature gradient…

By reversing the Schottky barrier-height asymmetry in hot-electron semiconductor-metal-semiconductor ballistic spin filtering spin detectors, we have achieved: 1. Demonstration of >50% spin polarization in silicon, resulting from…
