title = "Photo-spintronics of spin-orbit active electric weak links",
abstract = "We show that a carbon nanotube can serve as a functional electric weak link performing photospintronic transduction. A spin current, facilitated by strong spin-orbit interactions in the nanotube and not accompanied by a charge current, is induced in a device containing the nanotube weak link by circularly polarized microwaves. Nanomechanical tuning of the photo-spintronic transduction can be achieved due to the sensitivity of the spinorbit interaction to geometrical deformations of the weak link.",
