MA 5: Focus Session: Magnetic Phenomena from Phonon Chirality and Angular Momentum I (joint session MA/TT)

Monday, March 17, 2025, 09:30–13:00, H20

The magnetic moment of the electron lies at the heart of magnetism and spintronics. However, recent research has unveiled the angular momentum and magnetic moment of chiral phonons as fundamental quantities in their own right. These chiral phonons give rise to a plethora of novel lattice phenomena analogous to electronic effects, such as the phonon Hall and phonon Zeeman effects. Moreover, they play a critical role in angular momentum transfer on ultrafast timescales, as seen in the Einstein-de Haas effect. Chiral phonons can also generate effective magnetic fields reaching the tesla scale, inducing magnetization in antiferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and even nonmagnetic materials - a phenomenon reminiscent of the Barnett effect. These advancements showcase phonon chirality and angular momentum as powerful emerging tools for generating and controlling magnetism. This focus session aims to highlight the latest breakthroughs in chiral-phonon magnetism and foster connections between the rapidly evolving field of chiral phononics and the broader magnetism research community.
