Tunneling anisotropic spin galvanic effect
arXiv:2212.11698 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.L081402
Abstract
We show that pure spin injection from a magnetic electrode into an inversion symmetry-broken system composed of a tunnel barrier and a metallic region generates a transverse charge current. Such a tunnelling spin galvanic conversion is robust to disorder and non-local, i.e. injection and detection contacts do not coincide, and is strongly anisotropic whenever the internal spin-orbit field has a non-trivial angular dependence. The anisotropy shows up in linear response, contrary to what happens in bulk conversion setups lacking tunnelling elements. This is particularly relevant for spin-charge conversion at oxide interfaces, where both the tunnel barrier and the receiving low-dimensional metallic system host effective spin-orbit fields with complex angular symmetries.
