Extracting current-induced spins: spin boundary conditions at narrow Hall contacts
We consider the possibility to extract spins that are generated by an electric current in a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba–Dresselhaus spin–orbit interaction (R2DEG) in the Hall geometry. To this end, we discuss boundary conditions for the spin accumulations between a spin–orbit (SO) coupled region and a contact without SO coupling, i.e. a normal two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). W...
متن کاملDetection of current-induced spins by ferromagnetic contacts.
Detection of current-induced spin accumulation via ferromagnetic contacts is discussed. Onsager's relations forbid that in a two-probe configuration, spins excited by currents in time-reversal symmetric systems can be detected by switching the magnetization of a ferromangetic detector contact. Nevertheless, current-induced spins can be transferred as a torque to a contact magnetization and can ...
متن کاملCurrent-induced polarization and the spin Hall effect at room temperature.
Electrically induced electron spin polarization is imaged in n-type ZnSe epilayers using Kerr rotation spectroscopy. Despite no evidence for an electrically induced internal magnetic field, current-induced in-plane spin polarization is observed with characteristic spin lifetimes that decrease with doping density. The spin Hall effect is also observed, indicated by an electrically induced out-of...
متن کاملSpin current, spin accumulation and spin Hall effect.
Nonlocal spin transport in nanostructured devices with ferromagnetic injector (F1) and detector (F2) electrodes connected to a normal conductor (N) is studied. We reveal how the spin transport depends on interface resistance, electrode resistance, spin polarization and spin diffusion length, and obtain the conditions for efficient spin injection, spin accumulation and spin current in the device...
متن کاملCurrent correlations in quantum spin Hall insulators.
We consider a four-terminal setup of a two-dimensional topological insulator (quantum spin Hall insulator) with local tunneling between the upper and lower edges. The edge modes are modeled as helical Luttinger liquids and the electron-electron interactions are taken into account exactly. Using perturbation theory in the tunneling, we derive the cumulant generating function for the interedge cu...
