paired monopoles and antimonopoles of Berry curvature in momentum space, leading to the …

Definition of the spin current: The angular spin current and its physical consequences

Q Sun, XC Xie - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2005 - APS
We find that in order to completely describe the spin transport, apart from spin current (or
linear spin current), one has to introduce the angular spin current. The two spin currents …
