The transfer and control of angular momentum is a key aspect for spintronic applications. Recently, it has been realized, that even the lattice can contribute to the exchange of angular momentum via chiral phonons. To simulate spin lattice coupling, we developed a numerical method, which is able to conserve the total angular momentum, allowing us to precisely track changes thereof in transfers between the spin and lattice system [1, 2]. In our simulations, magnetic spins can excite chiral phonons, which themselves are able to elicit a response of other spins, creating an effective spin-spin coupling via phonons. We discuss this interaction by driving spins to investigate the processes involved and determine the importance of the chirality of the phonons. In finite-temperature simulations, we investigate the thermodynamic implications of this interaction.
