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 …

Spin hall effect

J Schliemann - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2006 - World Scientific
The intrinsic spin Hall effect in semiconductors has developed to a remarkably lively and
rapidly growing branch of research in the field of semiconductor spintronics. In this article we …

Anomalous Josephson current in junctions with spin polarizing quantum point contacts

AA Reynoso, G Usaj, CA Balseiro, D Feinberg… - Physical review …, 2008 - APS
We consider a ballistic Josephson junction with a quantum point contact in a two-
dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The point contact acts as a spin …

Bias-controllable intrinsic spin polarization in a quantum dot: Proposed scheme based on spin-orbit interaction

Q Sun, XC Xie - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2006 - APS
We propose a novel scheme to efficiently polarize and manipulate the electron spin in a
quantum dot. This scheme is based on the spin-orbit interaction and it possesses following …

Persistent spin current in nanodevices and definition of the spin current

Q Sun, XC Xie, J Wang - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2008 - APS
We investigate two closely related subjects:(i) the existence of a pure persistent spin current
without an accompanying charge current in a semiconducting mesoscopic device with a …

Edge-spin accumulation in semiconductor two-dimensional hole gases

K Nomura, J Wunderlich, J Sinova, B Kaestner… - Physical Review B …, 2005 - APS
The controlled generation of localized spin densities is a key enabler of semiconductor
spintronics In this work, we study spin Hall effect induced edge-spin accumulation in a two …

First-principles evaluation of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction

T Koretsune, T Kikuchi, R Arita - Journal of the Physical Society of …, 2018 - journals.jps.jp
We review recent developments of formulations to calculate the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM)
interaction from first principles. In particular, we focus on three approaches. The first one …

Persistent spin current in a mesoscopic hybrid ring with spin-orbit coupling

Q Sun, XC Xie, J Wang - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We investigate the equilibrium property of a mesoscopic ring with a spin-orbit interaction. It is
well known that, for a normal mesoscopic ring threaded by a magnetic flux, the electron …

Spin–orbit coupling at surfaces and 2D materials

EE Krasovskii - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Spin–orbit interaction gives rise to a splitting of surface states via the Rashba effect, and in
topological insulators it leads to the existence of topological surface states. The resulting …

Theory of spin Hall effects in semiconductors

HA Engel, EI Rashba, BI Halperin - arXiv preprint cond-mat/0603306, 2006 - arxiv.org
Spin Hall effects are a collection of phenomena, resulting from spin-orbit coupling, in which
an electrical current flowing through a sample can lead to spin transport in a perpendicular …
