Einstein-de Haas Nanorotor
2021
We propose a nanoscale rotor embedded between two ferromagnetic electrodes that is driven by spin injection. The spin-rotation coupling allows this nanorotor to continuously receive angular momentum from an injected spin under steady current flow between ferromagnetic electrodes in an antiparallel magnetization configuration. We develop a quantum theory of this angular momentum transfer and show that a relaxation process from a precession state into a sleeping top state is crucial for the efficient driving of the nanorotor by solving the master equation. Our work clarifies a general strategy for efficient driving of a nanorotor.
