One of the ultimate goals of spintronics is to realize an efficient electrical manipulation of
spin for high-speed and low-power nanodevices. A core ingredient for achieving this goal is …

The concept of chirality is of great relevance in nature, from chiral molecules such as sugar
to parity transformations in particle physics. In condensed matter physics, recent studies …

The recently demonstrated chiral modes of lattice motion carry angular momentum and
therefore directly couple to magnetic fields. Notably, their magnetic moments are predicted …

This paper is a review of recent advances in studies of the magnetic, electronic, spintronic,
and phononic properties of chiral crystals, with a focus on the connection between the …

Time-reversal symmetry (TRS) is pivotal for materials' optical, magnetic, topological, and
transport properties. Chiral phonons, characterized by atoms rotating unidirectionally around …

In 1917, Einstein considered stimulated photon emission of electron radiation, offering the
theoretical foundation for laser, technically achieved in 1960. However, thermal phonons …

Rectification describes the conversion of an oscillating field or current into a quasi-static one
and the most basic example of a rectifier is an AC/DC converter in electronics. This principle …

Circularly polarized lattice vibrations carry angular momentum and lead to magnetic
responses in applied magnetic fields or when resonantly driven with ultrashort laser pulses …

A generation, propagation, and transfer of phonon angular momenta are examined on
thermal transport in chiral insulative and diamagnetic crystals of α-quartz. We found that …

Electrons in solids carry orbital angular momentum in diverse non-equilibrium situations.
This orbital current is often overlooked when considering electronic transport. Here we …
