Long-range spin Seebeck effect and acoustic spin pumping
Abstract
The coupling between electron spins and phonons could lead to a new typology of electronic devices. The effects of such coupling are now experimentally demonstrated by injecting sound waves into a magnetic strip. The results also help to explain the origin of the spin Seebeck effect, which has been controversial for a while.
