A Spin Chain

Caption

This is a spin chain in which spin interactions are strong in the left half (orange arrows) and weak in the right half (blue arrows). A spin current from left to right (green arrowed line) is possible, but not in the opposite direction (red arrowed line). A very large rectification is the result of this.
