• Title: Universal intrinsic higher-rank spin Hall effect
• Authors: Junpeng Hou, Ying Su and Chuanwei Zhang
• Abstract summary: rank of spin current (determined by the rank of spin tensors) has been restricted to 0 and 1 for charge and spin Hall effects. Motivated by recent studies of pseudospin-1 fermions in solid state and cold atomic systems, here we introduce and characterize higher-rank. We find a universal rank-2 spin Hall conductivity $e/8pi $, with zero rank-0 and 1 conductivities, for a spin-1 model with intrinsic spin-orbit coupling.

• Abstract: Spin Hall effect (SHE), a fundamental transport phenomenon with non-zero spin current but vanishing charge current, has important applications in spintronics for the electrical control of spins. Owing to the half-spin nature of electrons, the rank of spin current (determined by the rank of spin tensors) has been restricted to 0 and 1 for charge and spin Hall effects. Motivated by recent studies of pseudospin-1 fermions in solid state and cold atomic systems, here we introduce and characterize higher-rank ($\geq 2$) SHEs in large spin ($\geq 1$) systems. We find a universal rank-2 spin Hall conductivity $e/{8}\pi $, with zero rank-0 and 1 conductivities, for a spin-1 model with intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. Similar rank-2 SHEs can also be found in a spin-3/2 system. An experimental scheme is proposed to realize and measure rank-2 SHEs with pseudospin-1 ultracold fermionic atoms. Our results reveal novel spin transport phenomena in large spin systems and may find important applications in designing innovative spintronic devices.

• Spin squeezing generated by the anisotropic central spin model [0.28101605533398166]
  We investigate the spin squeezing and the quantum phase transition in an anisotropic central spin system. We find that this kind of central spin systems can be mapped to the anisotropic Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model in the limit where the ratio of transition between the central spin and the spin bath tends towards infinity. This work offers a promising scheme for generating spin-squeezed state and paves the way for potential advancements in quantum sensing.

• Spin-orbit torque on nuclear spins exerted by a spin accumulation via hyperfine interactions [49.1574468325115]
  This article demonstrates that the hyperfine coupling, which consists of Fermi contact and dipolar interactions, can mediate the application of spin-orbit torques acting on nuclear spins. The reactions to the equilibrium and nonequilibrium components of the spin density is a torque on the nucleus with field-like and damping-like components. This nuclear spin-orbit torque is a step toward stabilizing and controlling nuclear magnetic momenta, in magnitude and direction, and realizing nuclear spintronics.

  A single electron floating on the surface of a condensed noble-gas liquid or solid can act as a spin qubit with ultralong coherence time. Previous studies suggest that the electron spin coherence time on a superfluid helium (He) surface can exceed 100 s. We present theoretical studies of the electron spin coherence on a solid neon (Ne) surface, motivated by our recent experimental realization of single-electron charge qubit on solid Ne.

• Anisotropic electron-nuclear interactions in a rotating quantum spin bath [55.41644538483948]
  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
