Magnon Spin Nernst Effect in Antiferromagnets.
We predict that a temperature gradient can induce a magnon-mediated spin Hall response in an antiferromagnet with nontrivial magnon Berry curvature. We develop a linear response theory which gives a general condition for a Hall current to be well defined, even when the thermal Hall response is forbidden by symmetry. We apply our theory to a honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet and discuss a role o...
متن کاملThe spin Nernst effect in tungsten
The spin Hall effect allows the generation of spin current when charge current is passed along materials with large spin-orbit coupling. It has been recently predicted that heat current in a nonmagnetic metal can be converted into spin current via a process referred to as the spin Nernst effect. We report the observation of the spin Nernst effect in W. In W/CoFeB/MgO heterostructures, we find c...
متن کاملTwo-magnon instabilities and other surprises in magnetized quantum antiferromagnets
The ordered states of a planar antiferromagnet with a triangular lattice are investigated in the presence of a magnetic field. The spin wave free energy is taken into account and proves to be important for determining the properties of the system. The phase diagram is constructed. It contains four different phases with rigorous long-range order. Three of them are characterised by different conf...
متن کاملPrediction of a linear spin bulk photovoltaic effect in antiferromagnets.
Here we predict the existence of a linear bulk spin photovoltaic effect, where spin currents are produced in antiferromagnetic materials as a response to linearly polarized light, and we describe the symmetry requirements for such a phenomenon to exist. This effect does not depend on spin-orbit effects or require inversion symmetry breaking, distinguishing it from previously explored methods. W...
متن کاملMagnetocaloric effect in two-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets
The magnetocaloric effect is studied at the transition to saturation in the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the simplest two-dimensional lattices, namely the square and the triangular lattice. Numerical results are presented for the entropy which are consistent with identical universal properties. However, the absolute values of the entropy are bigger on the geometrically frustra...
