Many-body spin Hall effect with space-inversion symmetry

Abstract

In contrast to the ordinary spin Hall effect (SHE), which is a single-body phenomenon caused by the spin-orbit interaction (SOI), we propose amany-body SHE induced by the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) between particles and demonstrate it in a system of ultracold magnetic atoms. While the SOI usually requires the breaking of space-inversion symmetry, the DDI preserves it. The many-body SHE can, in principle, be observed in a wide range of systems with large dipole moments and offers a powerful tool to generate spin currents, an essential ingredient in spintronics and atomtronics.
