Magnon condensation and hydrodynamics

 · Invited

Abstract

Thermoelectric means to induce and control magnon condensation in magnetic insulators is garnering much attention in the field of spin caloritronics. A complimentary thrust in spintronics concerns two-fluid spin hydrodynamics, either as a result of this nonequilibrium condensation or as innately pertaining to the spin-superfluid properties of a magnetic material. I will review recent developments, with a focus on the experimental signatures of the underlying interplay between the coherent and incoherent degrees of freedom. The relevant materials of interest will progress from ferromagnets to antiferromagnets to disordered spin systems.
