We report the experimental observation of the spin-Hall effect in a two-dimensional (2D) hole system with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The 2D hole layer is a part of a p-n junction light-emitting diode with a specially designed co-planar…

We demonstrate a general principle that hybrid structures of any sort inevitably will give rise to a pure spin-current flowing parallel to the interface region when a charge-current is injected. This stems from the broken mirror symmetry…

The spin-orbit interaction couples the electrons' motion to their spin. Accordingly, passing a current in a material with strong spin-orbit coupling generates a transverse spin current (spin Hall effect, SHE) and vice-versa (inverse spin…

We present a theoretical study of nonlocal magnetoelectric effects in diffusive hybrid structures with an intrinsic linear-in-momentum spin-orbit coupling (SOC) which is assumed to be spatially inhomogeneous. Our analysis is based on the…
