Abstract

We derive rigorously the relativistic angular momentum conservation equation by means of quantum electrodynamics. The novel nonrelativistic spin current and torque in the spin-orbit coupling system, up to the order of 1/c41/c^{4}, are exactly investigated by using Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. We find a perfect spin Hall coefficient including the contribution of spin torque dipole. A novel spin motive force, analogue to the Lorentz force, is also obtained for understanding of the spin Hall effect.
