内容简介：
Electron spins and quasi-particle magnons are two types carriers that play a central role in propagating angular momentum information in spin-based electronics. I will start with describing fundamental differences between charge and spin/magnons current, followed by a discussion on various “spin batteries” that are used for spin current generation, manipulation and detection in magnetic and non-magnetic layered structure. The main focus of the talk is on the recent theoretical and experimental advances in finding novel phenomena associated with the spin-magnon current, in particular, how different spin current carriers mutually convert at interfaces in several classes of materials including antiferromagnets. I will present a number of predictions, some of them have been confirmed experimentally.
