Hydrodynamic theory of chiral angular momentum generation in metals
arXiv:2010.03238 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.023160
Abstract
We present a hydrodynamic theory to describe a chiral electron system with a Weyl spin-orbit interaction on a field-theoretic basis. Evaluating the momentum flux density as a linear response to a driving electric field, we derive an equation of motion for the orbital angular momentum. It is shown that the chiral nature leads to a dynamic bulk angular momentum generation by inducing a global torque as a response to the applied field. The steady state angular momentum is calculated taking account of rotational viscosity.
