Spintronics aims to harness both charge and spin degrees of freedom of electrons in condensed matter systems and opens fascinating new perspectives for both basic research and device technology. Cooperation of the spin-orbit interaction with the exchange interaction between the conduction electron spins and localized moment gives rise to a variety of phenomena that generate, control, and detect spin currents. In this talk, we present our contributions to developing new ways of micro-power generation based on spin currents, i.e., the spinmotive force, spin Seebeck effect, and spin hydrodynamic generation.
