Current-induced spin polarization and the spin Hall effect: a quasiclassical approach
arXiv:cond-mat/0701629 · doi:10.1016/j.ssc.2007.03.060
Abstract
The quasiclassical Green function formalism is used to describe charge and spin dynamics in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. We review the results obtained for the spin Hall effect on restricted geometries. The role of boundaries is discussed in the framework of spin diffusion equations.
