SU(2) Non-Abelian Holonomy and Dissipationless Spin Current in Semiconductors

Abstract

Following our previous work [S. Murakami, N. Nagaosa, S. C. Zhang, Science 301, 1348 (2003)] on the dissipationless quantum spin current, we present an exact quantum mechanical calculation of this novel effect based on the linear response theory and the Kubo formula. We show that it is possibxle to define an exactly conserved spin current, even in the presence of the spin-orbit coupling in the Luttinger Hamiltonian of p-type semiconductors. The light- and the heavy-hole bands form two Kramers doublets, and an SU(2) non-abelian gauge field acts naturally on each of the doublets. This quantum holonomy gives rise to a monopole structure in momentum space, whose curvature tensor directly leads to the novel dissipationless spin Hall effect, i.e., a transverse spin current is generated by an electric field. The result obtained in the current work gives a quantum correction to the spin current obtained in the previous semiclassical approximation.
