Chiral Phonons Create Spin Current Without needing Magnetic Materials

 Spin Seebeck effect, chiral-phonon-activated spin Seebeck effect (CPASS) and experimental setup

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill used chiral phonons to convert wasted heat into spin information – without needing magnetic materials. The finding could lead to new classes of less expensive, energy-efficient spintronic devices for use in applications ranging from computational memory to powergrids.

Spintronic devices are electronic devices that harness the spin of an electron, rather than its charge, to create current used for data storage, communication, and computing...
