Long-range non-diffusive spin transfer in a Hall insulator

Abstract

We report on optical visualization of spin propagation more than 100 µm. We present an electronic system in a new state of aggregation, the magnetofermionic condensate, in which the lowest-energy spin excitations − photoexcited spin-triplet magnetoexcitons – freely propagate over long distances, in the order of a millimeter, which implies non-diffusion spin transport. Our results open up a completely new system suitable for spintronic devices.
