Electric currents carrying a net spin polarization are widely used in spintronics, whereas
globally spin-neutral currents are expected to play no role in spin-dependent phenomena …

Ferromagnets are known to support spin-polarized currents that control various spin-
dependent transport phenomena useful for spintronics. On the contrary, fully compensated …

Spin-orbit coupling enables charge currents to give rise to spin currents and vice versa,
which has applications in non-volatile magnetic memories, miniature microwave oscillators …

Spin-current generation by electrical means is among the core phenomena driving the field
of spintronics. Using ab initio calculations we show that a room-temperature metallic …

The spin-splitter effect is theoretically predicted to generate an unconventional spin current
with x-and z-spin polarization via the spin-split band in antiferromagnets. The generated …

First-principles calculations show that electric fields applied to ferromagnets generate spin
currents flowing perpendicularly to the electric field. Reduced symmetry in these …

Spin currents—the flow of angular momentum without the simultaneous transfer of electrical
charge—play an enabling role in the field of spintronics,,,,,,,. Unlike the charge current, the …

Pure spin currents, ie the transport of angular momentum without an accompanying charge
current, represent a promising new avenue in modern spintronics from both a fundamental …
