Spin cloud induced around an elastic scatterer by the intrinsic spin-Hall effect
arXiv:cond-mat/0604535 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.076601
Abstract
Similar to the Landauer electric dipole created around an impurity by the electric current, a spin polarized cloud of electrons can be induced by the intrinsic spin-Hall effect near a spin independent elastic scatterer. It is shown that in the ballistic range around the impurity, such a cloud appears in the case of Rashba spin-orbit interaction, even though the bulk spin-Hall current is absent.
