Abstract

The spin Hall effect is a phenomenon that an electric field induces a spin Hall current. In this Letter, we examine the inverse effect that, in a ferromagnetic conductor, a charge Hall current is induced by a spin motive force, or a spin-dependent effective ` electric' field Es{\bm E}_{\rm s}, arising from the time variation of magnetization texture. By considering skew-scattering and side-jump processes due to spin-orbit interaction at impurities, we obtain the Hall current density as σSHn×Es\sigma_{\rm SH} {\bm n}\times{\bm E}_{\rm s}, where n{\bm n} is the local spin direction and σSH\sigma_{\rm SH} is the spin Hall conductivity. The Hall angle due to the spin motive force is enhanced by a factor of P2P^{2} compared to the conventional anomalous Hall effect due to the ordinary electric field, where PP is the spin polarization of the current. The Hall voltage is estimated for a field-driven domain wall oscillation in a ferromagnetic nanowire.
