Spin transport study in a Rashba spin-orbit coupling system
One of the most important topics in spintronics is spin transport. In this work, spin transport properties of two-dimensional electron gas in Al(x)Ga(1-x)N/GaN heterostructure were studied by helicity-dependent photocurrent measurements at room temperature. Spin-related photocurrent was detected under normal incidence of a circularly polarized laser with a Gaussian distribution. On one hand, sp...
متن کاملSpin Current in Spin Orbit Coupling Systems
We present a simple and pedagogical derivation of the spin current as the linear response to an external electric field for both Rashba and Luttinger spin–orbital coupling Hamiltonians. Except for the adiabatic approximation, our derivation is exact to the linear order of the electric field for both models. The spin current is a direct result of the difference in occupation levels between diffe...
متن کاملIntrinsic spin torque without spin-orbit coupling.
We derive an intrinsic contribution to the non-adiabatic spin torque for non-uniform magnetic textures. It differs from previously considered contributions in several ways and can be the dominant contribution in some models. It does not depend on the change in occupation of the electron states due to the current flow but rather is due to the perturbation of the electronic states when an electri...
متن کاملSpin Circuit Model for 2D Channels with Spin-Orbit Coupling
In this paper we present a general theory for an arbitrary 2D channel with "spin momentum locking" due to spin-orbit coupling. It is based on a semiclassical model that classifies all the channel electronic states into four groups based on the sign of the z-component of the spin (up (U), down (D)) and the sign of the x-component of the velocity (+, -). This could be viewed as an extension of th...
متن کاملSpin injection into a superconductor with strong spin-orbit coupling.
We demonstrate spin injection into superconducting Nb by employing a spin absorption technique in lateral spin valve structures. Spin currents flowing in a nonmagnetic Cu channel are preferably absorbed into Nb due to its strong spin-orbit interaction, the amount of which dramatically changes below or above the superconducting critical temperature (TC). The charge imbalance effect observed in t...
