Abstract
We study the Pauli-Schrodinger equation in a uniformly rotating frame of reference to describe a coupling of spins and mechanical rotations. The explicit form of the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) with the inertial effects due to the mechanical rotation is presented. We derive equations of motion for a wave packet of electrons in two-dimensional planes subject to the SOI. The solution is a superposition of two cyclotron motions with different frequencies and a circular spin current is created by the mechanical rotation. The magnitude of the spin current is linearly proportional to the lower cyclotron frequency.

Spin-dependent inertial force and spin current in accelerating systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the spin-dependent inertial force in an accelerating system under the presence of electromagnetic fields is derived from the generally covariant Dirac equation, and the spin currents are evaluated by the force up to the lowest order of the spinorbit coupling in both ballistic and diffusive regimes.
