Inverse Spin Thermal Hall Effect in Non-Reciprocal Photonic Systems (2410.15691v2)
Published 21 Oct 2024 in physics.optics and cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: A transverse radiative heat flux induced by the gradient of spin angular momentum of photons in non-reciprocal systems is predicted. This thermal analog of the inverse spin Hall effect is analyzed in magneto-optical networks exhibiting C4 symmetry, under the action of spatially variable external magnetic fields. This finding opens new avenues for thermal management and energy conversion with non-reciprocal systems through a localized and dynamic control of the spin angular momentum of light.
