We use linear response theory to study the transverse force generated by an external electric field and hence possible charge Hall effect in spin-orbit coupled systems. In addition to the Lorentz force that is parallel to the electric…

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.…

We show that a pure spin current can be injected in quantum wells by the absorption of linearly polarized infrared radiation, leading to transitions between subbands. The magnitude and the direction of the spin current depend on the…

We have considered the effect of different spin-orbit interaction mechanisms on the process of demagnetization under the influence of short-pulse lasers. All-optical magnetization reversal of perpendicularly magnetized thin films can occur…

Spin transport phenomena in solid materials suffer limitations from spin relaxation associated to disorder or lack of translational invariance. Ultracold atoms, free of that disorder, can provide a platform to observe phenomena beyond the…

In this paper we show that it is possible to switch the spin polarization of the photocurrent signal obtained from a single self-assembled quantum dot photodiode under the effect of elliptically polarized light by just increasing the light…

Non-magnetic materials without inversion symmetry typically exhibit strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC), enabling the well-known Rashba Edelstein effect where an external electrical current induces transverse spin polarisation. In this…

We theoretically explore the possibility of creating spin quantum entanglement in a system of two electrons confined respectively in two vertically coupled quantum dots in the presence of Rashba type spin-orbit coupling. We find that the…

A spin current - a flow of spin angular momentum - can be carried either by spin polarised free electrons or by magnons, the quanta of a moving collective oscillation of localised electron spins - a spin wave. Traditionally, it was assumed,…

Spin-orbit coupling is a manifestation of special relativity. In the reference frame of a moving electron, electric fields transform into magnetic fields, which interact with the electron spin and lift the degeneracy of spin-up and…

The spin photocurrents, direct currents induced by light, hold great promise for introducing new elements to spintronics. However, a general theory for spin photocurrents in real materials which is applicable to systems with spin-orbit…

The photon helicity may be mapped to a spin-1/2, whereby we put forward an intrinsic interaction between a polarized light beam as a ``photon spin current'' and a pure spin current in a semiconductor, which arises from the spin-orbit…

Transverse electron focusing in two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) with strong spin-orbit coupling is revisited. The transverse focusing is related to the transmission between two contacts at the edge of a 2DEG when a perpendicular…

We describe theoretically the process of multi-beam reflection in a two-dimensional electron system with a lateral potential barrier. Due to spin-orbital interaction, the reflection process leads to the formation of three beams with…

Rashba effect in 2D systems is extensively studied nowadays due to spintronics applications. The Letter studies the fundamentals of spin-orbit interaction in 2D systems. Experimental evidence is claimed for the rotation of the spin…

Recently the PVLAS collaboration reported the observation of a rotation of linearly polarized laser light induced by a transverse magnetic field -- a signal being unexpected within standard QED. In this review, we emphasize two mechanisms…

We study theoretically the spin-Hall effect as well as its reciprocal phenomenon (a transverse charge current driven by a spin-dependent chemical potential gradient) in electron and hole finite size mesoscopic systems. The…

Spin-orbit interaction is usefully classified as extrinsic or intrinsic depending on its origin: the potential due to random impurities (extrinsic), or the crystalline potential associated with the band or device structure (intrinsic). In…

Spin current perpendicular to the electric current is investigated around Landau level filling factor $\nu=3$ in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron system. Measurements of dynamic nuclear polarization in the vicinity of the edge of a…

The electromotive force transverse to a bias field under irradiation of circularly polarized light, namely the photovoltaic Hall response or light-induced anomalous Hall effect, has attracted considerable attention to investigate the…
