      abstract = {This book presents a theoretical study of the generation  and conversion of phonon angular momentum in crystals.  Recently, rotational motions of lattice vibrations, i.e.,  phonons, in crystals attract considerable attentions. As  such, the book theoretically demonstrate generations of  phonons with rotational motions, based on model  calculations and first-principle calculations. In systems  without inversion symmetry, the phonon angular momentum is  shown to be caused by the temperature gradient, which is  demonstrated in crystals such as wurtzite gallium nitride,  tellurium, and selenium using the first-principle  calculations. In systems with neither time-reversal nor  inversion symmetries, the phonon angular momentum is shown  to be generated by an electric field. Secondly, the book  presents the microscopic mechanisms developed by the author  and his collaborator on how these microscopic rotations of  nuclei are coupled with electron spins. These predictions  serve as building blocks for spintronics with phonons or  mechanical motions.},
