We report a giant spin Hall effect (SHE) in {\beta}-W thin films. Using spin torque induced ferromagnetic resonance with a {\beta}-W/CoFeB bilayer microstrip we determine the spin Hall angle to be |\theta|=0.30\pm0.02, large enough for an…

Spin currents can carry either spin angular momentum or its associated magnetic moment, which are no longer strictly proportional in multiband systems. Using a multiband $k \cdot p$ model, we compute the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity…

A self-consistent treatment of the spin-Hall effect requires consideration of the spin-orbit coupling and electron-impurity scattering on equal footing. This is done here for the experimentally relevant case of a [110] GaAs quantum well…
\textit{Ab-initio} calculation of intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) generally requires a strict convergence criterion and a dense k-point mesh to sample the Brillouin zone, making its convergence challenging and time-consuming. Here we…

In bilayers consisting of a normal metal (N) with spin-orbit coupling and a ferromagnet (F), the combination of the spin-Hall effect, the spin-transfer torque, and the inverse spin-Hall effect gives a small correction to the in-plane…
We use numerical simulations to investigate the spin Hall effect in quantum wires in the presence of both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. We find that the intrinsic spin Hall effect is highly anisotropic with respect to the…
While tremendous work has gone into spin-orbit torque and spin current generation, charge-to-spin conversion efficiency remains weak in silicon to date, generally stemming from the low spin-orbit coupling (low atomic number, Z) and lack of…
