Anisotropic current-induced spin accumulation in the two-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit coupling
arXiv:cond-mat/0611328 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.75.155323
Abstract
We investigate the magnetoelectric (or inverse spin-galvanic) effect in the two dimensional electron gases with both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling using an exact solution of the Boltzmann equation for electron spin and momentum. The spin response to an in-plane electric field turns out to be highly anisotropic while the usual charge conductivity remains isotropic, contrary to earlier statements.
