It is theoretically predicted that a traveling shear wave will create a spin current in certain direct-gap (for example III-V compound) semiconductors with contributions from both the valence bands and the conduction band (for n-doped semiconductors). We show that this spin-current is a property of the Fermi-Dirac sea, and is controlled by a geometric phase accumulated by the strain-induced Rashba parameters in a cycle.
