Dirac系统中自旋和大横向自旋流的半经典守恒

Semiclassical conservation of spin and large transverse spin current in Dirac systems

Vanessa Werner, Björn Trauzettel, Oleksiy Kashuba

摘要:

在狄拉克材料中,低能激发服从相对论狄拉克方程。这种依赖性意味着电子暴露于强自旋轨道耦合。因此,在狄拉克材料中,实自旋守恒被认为是违反的。我们表明,这一点需要改进的半经典图片,适用于掺杂狄拉克材料的情况下(远离光谱中的节点)。我们推导出一种新的类型的玻尔兹曼方程,这些系统,如果他们带来轻微的平衡。值得注意的是,自旋-动量锁定被软化,并且可以用公式表示广义的自旋守恒定律。我们的理论最引人注目的可观测结果是在近弹道输运状态下的大的横向自旋流。

英文摘要:

In Dirac materials, the low energy excitations obey the relativistic Dirac equation. This dependence implies that the electrons are exposed to strong spin-orbit coupling. Hence, real spin conservation is believed to be violated in Dirac materials. We show that this point of view needs to be refined in the semiclassical picture which applies to the case of doped Dirac materials (away from the nodal point in the spectrum). We derive a novel type of Boltzmann equation for these systems if they are brought slightly out-of-equilibrium. Remarkably, spin-momentum locking is softened and a generalized spin conservation law can be formulated. The most striking observable consequence of our theory is a large transverse spin current in a nearly ballistic transport regime.
