Inverse Spin Hall Effect by Spin Injection
arXiv:cond-mat/0608594 · doi:10.1063/1.2783254
Abstract
Motivated by a recent experiment[Nature {\bf 442}, 176 (2006)], we present a quantitative microscopic theory to investigate the inverse spin-Hall effect with spin injection into aluminum considering both intrinsic and extrinsic spin-orbit couplings using the orthogonalized-plane-wave method. Our theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. It is also clear that the magnitude of the anomalous Hall resistivity is mainly due to contributions from extrinsic skew scattering, while its spatial variation is determined by the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling.
