Dissipationless Spin-Charge Conversion in Excitonic Pseudospin Superfluid
arXiv:2108.00409 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.066601
Abstract
Spin-charge conversion by inverse spin Hall effect or inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect is prevalent in spintronics but dissipative. We propose a dissipationless spin-charge conversion mechanism by an excitonic pseudospin superfluid in an electron-hole double layer system. Magnetic exchange fields lift singlet-triplet degeneracy of interlayer exciton levels in the double layer system. Condensation of the singlet-triplet hybridized excitons breaks both a U(1) gauge symmetry and a pseudospin rotational symmetry around the fields, leading to spin-charge coupled superflow in the system. We demonstrate the mechanism by deriving spin-charge coupled Josephson equations for the excitonic superflow from a coupled quantum-dot model.
