Solitons and spin transport in graphene boundary

  • Published:
Pramana Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

It is shown that in (2 + 1)-dimensional condensed matter systems, induced gravitational Chern–Simons (CS) action can play a crucial role for coherent spin transport in a finite geometry, provided zero-curvature condition is satisfied on the boundary. The role of the resultant KdV solitons is explicated. The fact that KdV solitons can pass through each other without interference, represent ‘resistanceless’ spin transport.
