We find that in order to completely describe the spin transport, apart from spin current (or linear spin current), one has to introduce the angular spin current. The two spin currents respectively describe the translational and rotational…
For an electron, a spin-1/2 particle, the spin charge $\mathbf{s}$, a real pseudovector with constant length, could determine the spin polarization properties in quantum mechanics. Since spin density $\rho_{\mathbf{s}}$ could be expressed…
The conventional definition of spin current is incomplete and unphysical in describing spin transport in systems with spin-orbit coupling. A proper and measurable spin current is established in this study, which fits well into the standard…
By generalizing the usual current density to a matrix with respect to spin variables, a general equation of continuity satisfied by the density matrix and current density matrix has been derived. This equation holds in arbitrary spin-orbit…
The spin current $J_{S}$, orbit angular momentum current $J_{L}$ and total angular momentum current $J_{J}$ in a dyad form have been universally defined according to quantum electrodynamics. Their conservation quantities and the continuity…
Spin and charge currents can be generated by an ac voltage through a one-channel quantum wire with strong electron interactions in a static uniform magnetic field. In a certain range of low voltages, the spin current can grow as a negative…
Starting from a continuum constituted by charged tops, we formulate the classical counterpart of a previously obtained covariant continuity-like equation for the spin current. Such a formulism provides an intuitive picture to elucidate the…
We theoretically predict that a pure steady state spin-current without charge-current can induce an electric field. A formula for the induced electric field is derived and we investigate its characteristics. Conversely, a moving spin is…
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…
At each of the boundaries of the two-dimensional (2D) rectangular conductor parallel to the electric current there arises a stripe with an electric field transverse to the current and a 100% electron spin polarization. The two stripes have…
The kinetics of conduction electrons interacting with the field of sound waves in a constant magnetic field is studied. It is shown that the longitudinal sound wave propagation occurs transverse spin conductivity, which has a resonant…
The present review analyzes and compares various types of dissipationless spin transport: (1) Superfluid transport, when the spin-current state is a metastable state (a local but not the absolute minimum in the parameter space). (2)…
We derive an expression for the spin-current through a tunnel barrier in terms of many-body Green's functions. The spin current has two contributions. One can be associated with angular-momentum transfer by spin-polarized charge currents…
Along with the progress of spin science and spintronics research, the flow of electron spins, (i.e. spin current), has attracted interest. New phenomena and electronic states were explained in succession using the concept of spin current.…
Spin current, a key concept in spintronics that carries spin angular momentum, has a non-unique definition due to the non-conservation of spins in solids. While two primary definitions exist -- conventional spin current and conserved spin…
An electron propagating through a solid carries spin angular momentum in addition to its mass and charge. Of late there has been considerable interest in developing electronic devices based on the transport of spin, which offer potential…
Spin-rotation coupling, which is responsible for angular momentum conversion between the electron spin and rotational deformations of elastic media, is exploited for generating spin current. This method requires neither magnetic moments nor…
This article reviews steady-state spin densities and spin currents in materials with strong spin-orbit interactions. These phenomena are intimately related to spin precession due to spin-orbit coupling which has no equivalent in the steady…
In Maxwellian electrodynamics, specific properties of the responses to external fields are included in constitutive equations. For noncentrosymmetric semiconductors, spin conductivity can be expressed in terms of the contribution of…
The inductance of spintronic devices that transport charge neutral spin currents is discussed. It is known that in a media that contains charge neutral spins, a time-varying electric field induces a spin current. We show that since the spin…
