Dissipative contributions to spin polarization
Abstract
Utilizing the Zubarev non-equilibrium density operator method and a first-order gradient expansion, we provide a comprehensive classification of all possible spin polarization effects. A key finding is that, with the unique exception of those induced by the gradient of the spin potential, all first-order dissipative corrections are chiral, implying their dependence on parity-breaking interactions or chiral imbalance. The work also introduces new non-dissipative phenomena akin to the Spin Hall Effect, including the Chiral Spin Hall Effect, which offers a novel observable to probe QCD topological configurations.
