Spin Radiation of Electrons, Excitons, and Phonons

In the celebrated Stern-Gerlach experiment an inhomogeneous static magnetic field separates a beam of charge-neutral atoms with opposite spins, thereby driving a “spin current" normal to the propagation direction. Here we generalize it to the dynamic scenario by demonstrating a spin transfer between an AC inhomogeneous magnetic field and intraband electrons or charge-neutral excitons and phonons. We predict that parametric pumping can efficiently radiate their DC spin currents from local AC magnetic sources with van der Waals semiconductors as prototypes. This mechanism brings a unified and efficient paradigm in the spin transport of distinct mobile carriers.
