Bauer, G.E.W. Sinova, J. Faculty Applied Sciences Department Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Date 2008-07-16 Abstract Torsional oscillations of a freestanding semiconductor beam are shown to cause spin-dependent oscillating potentials that spin polarize an applied charge current in the presence of intentional or disorder scattering potentials. We propose several realizations of mechanical spin generators and manipulators based on this piezospintronic effect.
