Kinetic investigation on extrinsic spin Hall effect induced by skew scattering
arXiv:0706.0370 · doi:10.1088/0953-8984/20/8/085209
Abstract
The kinetics of the extrinsic spin Hall conductivity induced by the skew scattering is performed from the fully microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equation approach in GaAs symmetric quantum well. In the steady state, the extrinsic spin Hall current/conductivity vanishes for the linear- dependent spin-orbit coupling and is very small for the cubic- dependent spin-orbit coupling. The spin precession induced by the Dresselhaus/Rashba spin-orbit coupling plays a very important role in the vanishment of the extrinsic spin Hall conductivity in the steady state. An in-plane spin polarization is induced by the skew scattering, with the help of the spin-orbit coupling. This spin polarization is very different from the current-induced spin polarization.
