Inverse Spin Hall Effect Driven by Spin Motive Force
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 , 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 , where is the local spin direction and is the spin Hall conductivity. The Hall angle due to the spin motive force is enhanced by a factor of compared to the conventional anomalous Hall effect due to the ordinary electric field, where is the spin polarization of the current. The Hall voltage is estimated for a field-driven domain wall oscillation in a ferromagnetic nanowire.
