k E Beff Spin-orbit coupling (relativistic effect) Produces an electric field Ingredients: - potential V(r) - motion of an electron E In the rest frame of an electron the electric field generates and effective magnetic field - gives an effective interaction with the electron’s magnetic moment
skew scattering Skew scattering off impurity potential (Extrinsic SHE/AHE) If only this SO effect then much too weak to give a sizable SHE/AHE
SO-coupling from host atoms (Intrinsic SHE/AHE) l=0 for electrons weak SO l=1 for holes strong SO Enhanced in asymmetric QW
Intrinsic AHE approach explains many experiments • (Ga,Mn)As systems [Jungwirth et al PRL 02, APL 03] • Fe [Yao et al PRL 04] • Layered 2D ferromagnets such as SrRuO3 and pyrochlore ferromagnets [Onoda and Nagaosa, J.

INTRINSIC SPIN-HALL EFFECT:[Murakami et al Science 2003 (cond-mat/0308167)Sinova et al PRL 2004 (cont-mat/0307663)] Let’s start with a simple model: Rashba SO coupling in a 2DEGs Inversion symmetry no R-SO Broken inversion symmetry R-SO [Bychkov and Rashba 84]
Heuristic argument: z-component of spin due to precession in effective "Zeeman" field Classical dynamics in k-dependent (Rashba) field: LLG equations for small drift adiabatic solution:
Classical and Kubo formula give the same spin-Hall conductivity Color plot of spin-Hall conductivity: yellow=e/8π and red=0
Disorder effects: finite lifetime (Born approximation) for Rashba 2DEG intrinsic SHE
Disorder effects: beyond the Born approximation for Rashba 2DEG Question: Are there any other major effects beyond the finite life time broadening? Can vertex corrections be ignored? Mal'shukov et al, PRL 04 Raimondi et al, PRB 04 Khaetskii, cond-mat/0408136 Loss et al, cond-mat/0407342 v2 Inoue, Bauer, Molenkamp PRB 04 Ladder sum vertex correction:
Spin Hall effect ? Intrinsic cancelled by vertex corrections for infinitely weak disorder Extrinsic too weak to give any sizable effect
Ways to solve (go around) the controversy: - Skew scattering in SO-coupled bands not done yet - Intrinsic SHE in Rashba-SO systems beyond perturbation theory by solving Kubo formula exactly inconclusive (finite-size effects) [Nomura et al. PRB '05] - Other than Rashba-SO systems (intrinsic AHE explains experiments here) [Bernevig, Zhang, cond-mat/0411457, cond-mat/0412550 vertex corrections vanish in all other studied SO-systems (bulk, 2DHG,..)
- Look at transport in mesoscopic systems instead of conductivity in the thermodynamic limit [Nikolic et al., cond-mat/0412595] [Hankiewicz et al., PRB 04]
- Measure the effect Kato, Myars, Gossard, Awschalom, [Science 306, 1910] "Observation of the spin Hall effect in semiconductors" Local Kerr effect in n-type GaAs and InGaAs: ~0.03% polarization Bulk semiconductor stronger disorder n-type material weaker SO-coupling Not in the intrinsic SHE regime
