Fluctuation theorem for spin transport at insulating ferromagnetic junctions

Tetsuya Sato, Masahiro Tatsuno, Mamoru Matsuo, Takeo Kato

Abstract

General relations for nonequilibrium spin transport at a magnetic junction between a normal metal and a ferromagnetic insulator are derived from the quantum fluctuation theorem. They include the extended Onsager relations between the spin conductance and the spin-current noise that hold for nonequilibrium states driven by an external current. These relations, that are valid for a general setup of spin Hall magnetoresistance, provide a comprehensive viewpoint for understanding of unidirectional spin Hall magnetoresistance in insulating ferromagnetic junctions.
