Superfluid Spin Transistor
arXiv:2112.14241 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.023236
Abstract
We propose to use the Hall response of topological defects, such as merons and antimerons, to spin currents in 2D magnetic insulator with in-plane anisotropy for identification of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in a transistor-like geometry. Our numerical results relying on a combination of Monte Carlo and spin dynamics simulations show transition from spin superfluidity to conventional spin transport, accompanied by the universal jump of the spin stiffness and exponential growth of the transverse vorticity current. We propose a superfluid spin transistor in which the spin and vorticity currents are modulated by tuning the in-plane magnet across BKT transition, e.g., by changing the exchange interaction, magnetic anisotropy, or temperature.
