We analyze equilibrium spin currents in a 2D electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit interaction (Rashba medium). In a uniform Rashba medium these currents are constant, and their ability to really transport spin is not evident. But even weak…

Existence of an entropy current with non-negative divergence puts a lot of constraints on the transport coefficients of a fluid, so does the existence of equilibrium. In all the cases we have studied so far we have seen an overlap between…
