Resonant thermal Hall effect of phonons coupled to dynamical defects

H Guo, DG Joshi, S Sachdev - Proceedings of the National …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
We present computations of the thermal Hall coefficient of phonons scattering off a defect
with multiple energy levels. Using a microscopic formulation based on the Kubo formula, we …

Phonon thermal hall conductivity from scattering with collective fluctuations

L Mangeolle, L Balents, L Savary - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of
the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom …

We systematically derive the quantum kinetic equation in full phase space for any quadratic
Hamiltonian of bosonic fields, including in the absence of translational invariance. This …

Sizable suppression of magnon Hall effect by magnon dam** in

Y Choi, H Yang, J Park, JG Park - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Two-dimensional Heisenberg honeycomb ferromagnets are expected to have interesting
topological magnon effects, as their magnon dispersion can have Dirac points. The Dirac …

Phonon thermal Hall effect in a non-Kramers paramagnet

H Guo - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
With an increasing number of experiments observing phonon thermal Hall effect in magnets,
it is theoretically desired to have a minimal model for the phonon thermal Hall effect. In this …
