• Abstract: Based on the spinor Boltzmann equation, we obtain a temperature dependent thermal spin-orbit torque in terms of the local equilibrium distribution function in a two dimensional ferromagnet with Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. We also derive the continuity equation of spin accumulation and spin current, the spin diffusion equation in Dresselhaus ferromagnet, which contains the thermal spin orbit torque under local equilibrium assumption. This temperature dependent thermal spin-orbit torque originates from the temperature gradient applied to the system. it is also sensitive to temperature due to the local equilibrium distribution function therein. In the spin diffusion equation, we can single out the usual spin-orbit torque as well as the spin transfer torque, which is conceded to our previous results. Finally, we illustrate them by an example of spin-polarized transport through a ferromagnet with Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling driven by temperature gradient, those torques including thermal spin-orbit torque are demonstrated numerically.

  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.

  Paramagnetic defects in diamond and hexagonal boron nitride possess a unique combination of spin and optical properties that make them solid-state qubits. Despite the coherence of these spin qubits being critically limited by spin-phonon relaxation, a full understanding of this process is not yet available. We demonstrate that low-frequency two-phonon modulations of the zero-field splitting are responsible for spin relaxation and decoherence.

• 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.

The proposed quantum simulator consists of strongly interacting atoms that occupy two temperature reservoirs connected by a one-dimensional link. We show the existence of a spin current in a system with a temperature difference by studying the dynamics that follows the spin-flip of an atom in the link.
