Spin transport typically relies on direct manipulation of the spin degree of freedom via magnetic fields, spin-orbit coupling, or engineered spin-dependent potentials. We show theoretically that directional spin currents can arise in a…

We consider properties of a two-dimensional electron system in a random magnetic field. It is assumed that the magnetic field not only influences orbital electron motion but also acts on the electron spin. For calculations, we suggest a new…
