Spin pumping provides a fundamental route for dynamical spin transport, yet in its conventional form it produces only linear spin responses at the driving frequency. Recent studies have shown that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can lift these…
We study the spin-Hall effect in systems with weak cubic Rashba spin-orbit interaction. To this end we derive particle and spin diffusion equations and explicit expressions for the spin-current tensor in the diffusive regime. We discuss the…
Recent experiments demonstrated generation of spin currents by ultrasound. We can understand this acoustically induced spin pumping in terms of the coupling between magnetization and lattice waves. Here we study the parametric excitation of…
In a two dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, the external electric field may cause a spin Hall current in the direction perpendicular to the electric field. This effect was called the intrinsic spin Hall effect. In…
We study effects of a gate-controlled Rashba spin-orbit coupling to quantum spin-Hall edge states in HgTe quantum wells. A uniform Rashba coupling can be employed in tuning the spin orientation of the edge states while preserving the…
In this study, we investigate the spin and orbital densities induced by magnetization dynamics in a planar bilayer heterostructure. To do this, we employed a theory of adiabatic pumping using the Keldysh formalism and Wigner expansion. We…
We study the spin polarization induced by a current flow in clean two dimensional electron gases with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. This geometric effect originates from special properties of the electron's scattering at the edges of the…
We report on the experimental implementation of a spin pump with ultracold bosonic atoms in an optical superlattice. In the limit of isolated double wells it represents a 1D dynamical version of the quantum spin Hall effect. Starting from…
We calculate spin Hall conductivities in the two dimensional electron systems with Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The salient feature is that, apart from the usual spin-Hall conductivity \sigma^z_{xy} which corresponds to the induction of…
We propose a mechanism by which an open quantum dot driven by two ac (radio frequency) gate voltages in the presence of a moderate in-plane magnetic field generates a spin polarized, phase coherent dc current. The idea combines adiabatic,…
Two dimensional heterostructures are likely to provide new avenues for the manipulation of magnetization that is crucial for spintronics or magnetoelectronics. Here, we demonstrate that optical spin pumping can generate a large effective…
A device enabling mechanically-controlled spin and electric transport in mesoscopic structures is proposed. It is based on the transfer of electrons through weak links formed by suspended nanowires, on which the charge carriers experience a…
Experimental investigations of spin-charge interconversion in magnetic bilayers comprising a ferromagnet adjacent to a topological insulator have reported scattered results on the spin-charge and charge-spin conversion efficiency.…
Circuit theory has been tremendously successful in translating physical equations into circuit elements in organized form for further analysis and proposing creative designs for applications. With the advent of new materials and phenomena…
Spin and charge currents can be generated by an ac voltage through a one-channel quantum wire with strong electron interactions in a static uniform magnetic field. In a certain range of low voltages, the spin current can grow as a negative…
The spin-charge coupled dynamics in a thin, magnetized metallic system are investigated. The effective driving force acting on the charge carriers is generated by a dynamical magnetic texture, which can be induced, e.g., by a magnetic…
We investigate parametric pumping of spin and charge currents in a mesoscopic ring interrupted by a tunnel barrier in presence of Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect and Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux along the axis of the same ring. Generation of a dc…
The Rashba spin-orbit coupling arising from structure inversion asymmetry couples spin and momentum degrees of freedom providing a suitable (and very intensively investigated) environment for spintronic effects and devices. Here we show…
We study the tunneling of conduction electrons through a (110)-oriented single-barrier heterostructure grown from III-V semiconductor compounds. It is shown that, due to low spatial symmetry of such a barrier, the tunneling current through…
We present a consistent microscopic study of spin pumping effects for both metallic and insulating ferromagnets. As for metallic case, we present a simple quantum mechanical picture of the effect as due to the electron spin flip as a result…
