Abstract
We propose a spin transport induced by inertial motion. Our system is composed of two host media and a narrow vacuum gap in between. One of the hosts is sliding at a constant speed relative to the other. This mechanical motion causes the Doppler effect, which shifts the density of states and the nonequilibrium distribution function in the moving medium. Those shifts induce the difference in the distribution function between the two media, and they result in tunneling spin current. The spin current is calculated from the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism with a spin tunneling Hamiltonian. This scheme does not require temperature difference, voltage, or chemical potential.
