Nuclear spin pumping by pulling effect
arXiv:1809.02272
Abstract
The nuclear-to-electron spin angular momentum conversion via hyperfine coupling in a normal metal (NM)/ferromagnet (FM) bilayer system is theoretically investigated by using the nonequilibrium Green's function method. The spin current generated by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is found to be enhanced by the pulling effect in the FM when the temperature is lower than NMR resonance frequency. In a Co/Pt bilayer system, we show that the spin current by NMR becomes larger than that of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR).
