The spin orbit effect in graphene is too muted to have any observable significance with respect to its application in spintronics. However, graphene technology is too valuable to be rendered impotent to spin transport. In this communication…

The notion of decoupling of spin and charge currents is one of the basic principles underlying the rapidly expanding feld of Spintronics. However, no direct demonstration of the phenomenon exists. We report a novel measurement, in which a…

In this paper, a 3-terminal spin-transfer torque nano-oscillator (STNO) is studied using the concurrent spin injection of a spin-polarized tunneling current and a spin Hall current exciting the free layer into dynamic regimes beyond what is…

Experimental results from the generation of Raman sidebands using optical vortices are presented. By generating two sets of sidebands originating from different locations in a Raman active crystal, one set containing optical orbital angular…

Along with the progress of spin science and spintronics research, the flow of electron spins, (i.e. spin current), has attracted interest. New phenomena and electronic states were explained in succession using the concept of spin current.…

Spin Hall effects are a collection of phenomena, resulting from spin-orbit coupling, in which an electrical current flowing through a sample can lead to spin transport in a perpendicular direction and spin accumulation at lateral…

The injection of spin polarized electrons from ferromagnetic metals (Fe and Co) into gallium nitride (GaN) via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is demonstrated. Electrons from STM tips are injected into the semiconductor. Net circular…

We study the spin and charge dynamics of electrons in n-doped II--VI semiconductor multiple quantum wells when one or more quantum wells are doped with Mn. The interplay between strongly nonlinear inter-well charge transport and the large…

We introduce the magnon circular photogalvanic effect enabled by stimulated Raman scattering. This provides an all-optical pathway to the generation of directed magnon currents with circularly polarized light in honeycomb antiferromagnetic…

Spin Hall effects interconvert spin- and charge currents due to spin-orbit interaction, which enables convenient electrical generation and detection of diffusive spin currents and even collective spin excitations in magnetic solids. Here,…

We theoretically investigate an extrinsic spin Hall effect (SHE) in semiconductor heterostructures due to the scattering by an artificial potential created by antidot, STM tip, etc. The potential is electrically tunable. First, we formulate…

High degree of electron spin polarization is of crucial importance in operation of spintronic devices. We study the propagation of spin-polarized electrons through a boundary between two n-type semiconductor regions with different doping…

We present a semiclassical theory of spin-diffusion in a ferromagnetic metal subject to a temperature gradient. Spin-flip scattering can generate pure thermal spin currents by short-circuiting spin channels while suppressing spin…

A pure spin current formed by opposite spins moving in opposite directions is a rank-2 axial tensor which breaks the inversion symmetry. Thus a spin current has a second-order optical susceptibility, with unique polarization-dependence…

We explain quantitatively why resonant Raman scattering spectroscopy, an extensively used experimental tool in studying elementary electronic excitations in doped low dimensional semiconductor nanostructures, always produces an observable…

We study the spin current injected by spin pumping into single layer graphene and the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with ferromagnetic contacts using scattering theory. The spin currents pumped into graphene are very distinct from…

We suggest a new practical scheme for the direct detection of pure spin current by using the two-color Faraday rotation of optical quantum interference process (QUIP) in a semiconductor system. We demonstrate theoretically that the Faraday…

Entangled multi-qubit states are an essential resource for quantum information and computation. Solid-state emitters can mediate interactions between subsequently emitted photons via their spin, thus offering a route towards generating…

The class of Ruddlesden-Popper type (PEA)$_2$PbI$_4$ perovskites comprises two-dimensional (2D) structures whose optical properties are determined by excitons with a large binding energy of about 260 meV. It complements the family of other…

We present here a brief overview of current-induced spin polarization in bulk semiconductors and semiconductor structures of various dimension. The role of band structure and spin relaxation processes is discussed. The related phenomena,…
