Coupled spin-charge dynamics in helical Fermi liquids beyond the random phase approximation
arXiv:1710.02712 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.96.245110
Abstract
We consider a helical system of fermions with a generic spin (or pseudospin) orbit coupling. Using the equation of motion approach for the single-particle distribution functions, and a mean-field decoupling of the higher order distribution functions, we find a closed form for the charge and spin density fluctuations in terms of the charge and spin density linear response functions. Approximating the nonlocal exchange term with a Hubbard-like local-field factor, we obtain coupled spin and charge density response matrix beyond the random phase approximation, whose poles give the dispersion of four collective spin-charge modes. We apply our generic technique to the well-explored two-dimensional system with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and illustrate how it gives results for the collective modes, Drude weight, and spin-Hall conductivity which are in very good agreement with the results obtained from other more sophisticated approaches.
