Theory of spin motive force in one-dimentional antiferromagnetic domain wall

We present the theory of the spin motive force in antiferromagnets. We consider a one-dimensional antiferromagnetic domain wall strongly coupled with conduction electrons via an exchange interaction. We carry out a unitary transformation that rotates the spin coordinate system of the conduction electron locally, so that the quantization axis is in the direction of the localized spin. By numerically solving the time-dependent Schr$ö$dinger equation, we clearly demonstrate that the spin motive force acts on the conduction electron. The result suggests that there is no distinction between antiferromagnets and ferromagnets from the view point of the basic phenomenon relevant to spintronics.
