Young Research Leaders Group Workshop: Transport and transfer of angular momentum: magnons, chiral phonons and beyond
The manipulation of angular momentum (AM) has been a cornerstone of the field of spintronics. Where initial developments were focussed on electrically driven spin currents, in recent years the field of spintronics has been broadened to include a wide family of quasiparticles: magnons, orbitals, photons, and phonons. This diversity provides a broad and promising platform for investigating the mechanisms of AM transport and exchange, as well as realizing functional devices. In this workshop, we aim to connect these different fields, to develop new insights in how to effectively transport and transfer angular momentum.
This workshop will bring together experimental and theoretical perspectives to examine recent advances in the manipulation and detection of angular momentum. Through presentations and open discussion, we will explore emerging approaches, identify key challenges, and outline potential directions for future research.
