Recently, it has been raised the attention to spin and phonon transport properties such as topological, quantum, and energy conversion properties. For example, the giant Nernst effect (GNE), phonon Hall effect (PHE), and anomalous Hall effect (AHE) have become major research fields in topological properties. Topological quantum phase transition is attributed to the enhancement of thermoelectric performance that can be applied in energy conversion devices. Those phenomena originated from the competing interactions among phonon-spin-charge degrees of freedom. Therefore, this pioneer symposium introduces recent investigations on the phonon and spin transport properties by inviting renowned scholars to attract domestic researchers’ attention and promote the level of research in this field.
