Spintronics and Magnon Bose-Einstein Condensation
arXiv:1505.01329
Abstract
Spintronics is the science and technology of electric control over spin currents in solid-state-based devices. Recent advances have demonstrated a coupling between electronic spin currents in non-magnetic metals and magnons in magnetic insulators. The coupling is due to spin transfer and spin pumping at interfaces between the normal metals and magnetic insulators. In this Chapter, we review these developments and the prospects they raise for electric control of quasi-equilibrium magnon Bose-Einstein condensates and spin superfluidity.
This is a chapter for a book entitled "Universal Themes of Bose-Einstein Condensation", to be published by Cambridge University Press, edited by David Snoke, Nikolaos Proukakis and Peter Littlewood
