2 Outline Introduction: the notion of spin and spintronics. Accumulation of geometrical phase (parallel transport) by spin and its implications for solids with magnetic textures and/or relativistic (spin-orbit) interactions. Review of my research in spintronics: Aharonov-Casher effect, anomalous Hall effect, thermoelectric and thermomagnonic spin transfer and Peltier effects. Going quantum with spintronics: Magnetomechanical effects at nanoscale and magnetization reversal. Macrospin tunneling and magnetopolaritons in the presence of nanomechanical interference. Future study directions.
3 From spin to spintronics = Electron possesses spin in addition to charge. In ferromagnets all spins are aligned by exchange interactions. The spin direction can slowly change in space texture. Torque is a force on a magnet (spin) by magnetic field or by passing current. Nanometer magnets, in AccessScience (2006)
4 History of spintronics: where it all started Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg discovered giant magnetoresistance effect in 1988, Nobel Prize Opposite effect: current induced torque.
5 can spintronics improve our lives? In every computer operation of hard disk relies on spintronics; however, information carrier is charge. Shrinking of processor technology has stopped yielding exponential gains in power and performance! = + Idea: Improve devices relying on charge transport by employing the spin degree of freedom.
6 New way to transfer signal Recently, controllable spin flows through ferromagnetic insulators have been experimentally realized. First transistor invented by John Bardeen, William Shockley and Walter Brattain in 1947 relied on possibility that hole current can flow through bulk of semiconductor. Y. Kajiwara, K. Harii, S. Takahashi, J. Ohe, K. Uchida, M. Mizuguchi, H. Umezawa, H. Kawai, K. Ando, K. Takanashi, S. Maekawa & E. Saitoh Nature 464, 262 (2010)
7 Geometric phases and parallel transport Example 1: Traveler with a compass; traveler with a compass starts from and returns to the North pole. compass arrow acquires an angle (phase). Example 2: Foucault pendulum; as earth rotates pendulum acquires rotation projection of the angular velocity of Earth onto the normal direction to Earth determines precession. (From wikipedia)
8 Geometric phase of spin Spin lives on a surface of a sphere. Spin returns to initial position and accumulates a Geometric phase a product of encircled area and spin. -- spin direction is defined by three Euler angles. Geometric phase of spin ->

11 Manifestations: anomalous Hall effect (AHE) B I V Anomalous Hall effect is a Hall effect without magnetic field. The origin is in spin rotation and accumulation of Geometric phases. R. Karplus and J. M. Luttinger, Phys. Rev. 95, 1154 (1954); N. Nagaosa, J. Sinova, S. Onoda, A. H. MacDonald, N. P. Ong, Rev. Mod. Phys. 82, 1539 (2010) and references therein; A. A. Kovalev et al.

12 a) Intrinsic deflection Difficult to account for disorder Electrons deflect to the right or to the left as they are accelerated by an electric field due to the spin-orbit coupling in the periodic potential (electronics structure). dk e ee r B dt c dr 1 E k ( k ) dt k b) Side jump scattering H const H const Electrons have an anomalous velocity perpendicular to the electric field related to their Berry s phase curvature which is nonzero in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. E Electrons deflect first to one side due to the field created by the impurity and deflect back when they leave the impurity since the field is opposite resulting in a side step. This side-jump deflection is superimposed on the skew scattering deflection upon scattering. c) Skew scattering Asymmetric scattering is due to the effective spin-orbit coupling of the electron or the impurity.

13 Magnetic texture induced geometric phases Spin torque effect Fictitious magnetic field Moving texture and EMF 1. If magnetic field changes then by Faraday s law there is electro-motive force: 2. Electron also accumulates additional phase ' due to magnetic texture. If the magnetic texture changes in time, by analogy to Faraday s law we have additional electromotive force: Magnetic texture induced fictitious magnetic field deflects the trajectory. C.

20 Precessional reversal by mechanical actuation Sudden mechanical twist of a tip released by STM generates magnetic pulse given by effective field in the LLG. Thus, tilted magnetization is reversed by demagnetizing field. STM M Hdem y x z Related experiments by Mark Freeman, University of Alberta, Canada Kovalev et al. PRL 94,

22 Magnetovibrational modes excited by currents Splittings in the current induced FMR spectra. Kovalev et al., PRB 75, Yu et al., JAP 102, ; Bauer et al., PRB 81,
23 Rotating frame and Barnett effect In the rotating frame, the rotation is equivalent to magnetic field. Bretzel et al., APL 95, Mechanical torsional oscillations are equivalent to AC magnetic field. FMR coupling Coupled magnetomechanical polaritonic modes Kovalev et al. JJAP ; APL 83, 1584 EPR coupling Coupled mechanical mode and quantum oscillations of spin (level anti-crossing) Landau-Zener transitions. Jaafar et al., EPL 89, (2010) Barraza-Lopez et al., PRL 102, In both cases the coupling can be traced back to the effective field in the rotating frame (Barnett effect). See also: M. Matsuo, J. Ieda, E. Saitoh, S. Maekawa, PRL 106, (2011)
24 Hamiltonian and formulation of the problem Idealized system z The typical Hamiltonian describing the magnetic anisotropy of the molecule leads to two energy minima along the y axis. Tunneling can be described by instanton paths between the minima. y x - is a constant describing spin-mechanical coupling.
25 Back of the envelope calculation Phase difference for the trajectories in (c) is area times spin Condition for suppression of tunneling: (a) Coupled macrospin and a resonator, coupling via magnetic anisotropies. (b) Lowest energy states of the resonator. (c) Splitting of the trajectories for the first excited state.
26 Path integral formulation Unitary transformed Hamiltonian: We construct a coherent state from a Fock state n and spin state s along the y axis -x x By inserting identity operator at ends of each time interval we Arrive at path integral formulation: -- Integration over all paths
27 Instanton approach Equations of motion that minimize action: In imaginary time these equations lead to instanton solutions depicted on the right (zr is eliminated). Eliminate zr Instantons do not overlap as long as The tunnel splitting changes from as we increase to Alternatively we can eliminate zi M. F. O Keeffe, E. M. Chudnovsky Phys. Rev. B 83, (2011)
28 Connection with Rabi and Jaynes and Cummings models A unitary transformed Hamiltonian: Projection onto the two lowest levels Rabi model, I. I. Rabi, Phys. Rev. 49, 324 (1936); 51, 652 (1937); Analytical solution, D. Braak, PRL 107, (2011). By using the rotating wave approximation one can arrive at Jaynes and Cummings model: Jaynes and Cummings model (Proc. IEEE 51, 89 (1963))
29 Perturbative approach and projection First we project the spin Hamiltonian on to the degenerate states of the original Hamiltonian corresponding to the y anisotropy direction. The projected Hamiltonian becomes: Jaafar et al., EPL 89, (2010)
30 Solutions outside the near-resonance assumptions For the Rabi Hamiltonian solution are given via displaced states. At the degeneracy points the splittings are given by: Laguerre polynomial The coupling can be arbitrary large.
31 Summary of the results (a) Tunnel splittings as a function of the macrospin-resonator coupling for the first three excited states of the resonator. The curves show analytical results, while the squares are based on the numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian corresponding to an Fe8 SMM. (b) Analogous plot for tunnel splittings of the magnetopolaritonic modes corresponding to the Fock states differing by one phonon. (c) Lowest-energy levels of the Fe8 SMM coupled to a mechanical resonator.
32 Experimental observation of proposed effects We estimate for a Mn12 molecule bridged between two leads: We estimate for a Mn17 molecule attached to a metallic paddle on a nanotube: Nanotube can be tuned electrostatically. By studying Landau-Zener transitions, one can measure the splitting. Related experiments by Enrique del Barco, University of Central Florida
