Intrinsic spin torque without spin-orbit coupling.
We derive an intrinsic contribution to the non-adiabatic spin torque for non-uniform magnetic textures. It differs from previously considered contributions in several ways and can be the dominant contribution in some models. It does not depend on the change in occupation of the electron states due to the current flow but rather is due to the perturbation of the electronic states when an electri...
متن کاملSpin-Current and Spin-Splitting in Helicoidal Molecules Due to Spin-Orbit Coupling
The use of organic materials in spintronic devices has been seriously considered after recent experimental works have shown unexpected spin-dependent electrical properties. The basis for the confection of any spintronic device is ability of selecting the appropriated spin polarization. In this direction, DNA has been pointed out as a potential candidate for spin selection due to the spin-orbit ...
متن کاملTriplet pairing due to spin-orbit-assisted electron-phonon coupling
We propose a microscopic mechanism for spin-dependent attraction in a metal leading to triplet pairing, which is caused by spin-orbit-assisted coupling between electrons and optical phonons in crystals with complex unit cells. Using two examples of crystals with either a cubic or a layered square lattice, we show that spin-orbit-assisted electron-phonon coupling generates triplet pairing with u...
متن کاملSpin Current in Spin Orbit Coupling Systems
We present a simple and pedagogical derivation of the spin current as the linear response to an external electric field for both Rashba and Luttinger spin–orbital coupling Hamiltonians. Except for the adiabatic approximation, our derivation is exact to the linear order of the electric field for both models. The spin current is a direct result of the difference in occupation levels between diffe...
متن کاملElectronic theory for the normal-state spin dynamics in Sr2RuO4: Anisotropy due to spin-orbit coupling
Using a three-band Hubbard Hamiltonian we calculate within the random-phase approximation the spin susceptibility, x(q,v), and nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation rate, 1/T1, in the normal state of the triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4 and obtain quantitative agreement with experimental data. Most importantly, we find that due to spin-orbit coupling the out-of-plane component of the...
