Spin Peltier effect in graphene

In this work, we theoretically investigate the spin-Peltier effect in a heterostructure composed of graphene and a ferromagnetic insulator (FI). Using a microscopic formalism based on the characteristic spin-flip scattering length at the graphene/FI interface, we analyze how spin accumulation in graphene gives rise to a temperature difference across the junction. We show that, in the presence of an external magnetic field, the electronic spectrum of graphene is quantized into Landau levels, which strongly modifies the available spin-flip scattering channels. In particular, crossings between Landau levels significantly enhance the spin-flip scattering amplitude, leading to a pronounced amplification of the spin-Peltier response. Our results suggest that measurements of the spin-induced temperature difference in graphene-FI heterostructures can serve as a sensitive probe of discrete electronic energy levels. More broadly, this work provides a theoretical framework for understanding spin-driven thermal effects in hybrid systems combining Dirac materials and magnetic insulators.

Fluctuation theorem for spin transport at insulating ferromagnetic junctions

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.
