Magnetization control by angular momentum transfer from surface acoustic wave to ferromagnetic spin moments

Conversion of an external angular momentum, for example, from mechanical rotation or light into ferromagnetic moment has a long history. Here, Sasaki et al. demonstrate the conversion of phonon angular momentum, in ferromagnetic moment, potentially allowing for new types of control for spintronics.
