Spin hall effects

J Sinova, SO Valenzuela, J Wunderlich, CH Back… - Reviews of modern …, 2015 - APS
Spin Hall effects are a collection of relativistic spin-orbit coupling phenomena in which
electrical currents can generate transverse spin currents and vice versa. Despite being …

Spin Hall effect devices

T Jungwirth, J Wunderlich, K Olejník - Nature materials, 2012 - nature.com
The spin Hall effect is a relativistic spin–orbit coupling phenomenon that can be used to
electrically generate or detect spin currents in non-magnetic systems. Here we review the …

Quantum transport in Rashba spin–orbit materials: a review

D Bercioux, P Lucignano - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
In this review article we describe spin-dependent transport in materials with spin–orbit
interaction of Rashba type. We mainly focus on semiconductor heterostructures, however we …

Proper definition of spin current in spin-orbit coupled systems

J Shi, P Zhang, D Xiao, Q Niu - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
The conventional definition of spin current is incomplete and unphysical in describing spin
transport in systems with spin-orbit coupling. A proper and measurable spin current is …

Spin currents and spin superfluidity

EB Sonin - Advances in Physics, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
The present review analyses and compares various types of dissipationless spin
transport:(1) Superfluid transport, when the spin-current state is a metastable state (a local …

Transport properties and diamagnetism of dirac electrons in bismuth

Y Fuseya, M Ogata, H Fukuyama - Journal of the Physical Society of …, 2015 - journals.jps.jp
Bismuth crystal is known for its noteworthy properties resulting from particular electronic
states, eg, the Shubnikov–de Haas effect and the de Haas–van Alphen effect. Above all, the …

Thermal Hall effect, spin Nernst effect, and spin density induced by a thermal gradient in collinear ferrimagnets from magnon–phonon interaction

S Park, N Nagaosa, BJ Yang - Nano letters, 2020 - ACS Publications
We theoretically study the intrinsic thermal Hall and spin Nernst effect in collinear
ferrimagnets on a honeycomb lattice with broken inversion symmetry. The broken inversion …

Generating spin currents in semiconductors with the spin Hall effect

V Sih, WH Lau, RC Myers, VR Horowitz, AC Gossard… - Physical Review Letters, 2006 - APS
We investigate electrically induced spin currents generated by the spin Hall effect in GaAs
structures that distinguish edge effects from spin transport. Using Kerr rotation microscopy to …

Orbital magnetoelectric effect in nanoribbons of transition metal dichalcogenides

TP Cysne, FSM Guimarães, LM Canonico, M Costa… - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The orbital magnetoelectric effect (OME) generically refers to the appearance of an orbital
magnetization induced by an applied electric field. Here, we show that nanoribbons of …

Spin hall effect

MI Dyakonov, AV Khaetskii - Spin physics in semiconductors, 2008 - Springer
Since the electrons have an internal degree of freedom, spin, they are characterized not only
by charge density and electric current, but also by spin density and spin current. The spin …
