Spin-Hall conductivity and electric polarization in metallic thin films

Wang, X.*; Xiao, J.*; Manchon, A.*; Maekawa, Sadamichi

We predict theoretically that, when a normal metallic thin film (without bulk spin-orbit coupling, such as Cu or Al) is sandwiched by two insulators, two prominent effects arise due to the interfacial spin-orbit coupling: a giant spin-Hall conductivity due to the surface scattering and a transverse electric polarization due to the spin-dependent phase shift in the spinor wave functions.
