We develop a theory of extrinsic spin currents in semiconductors, resulting from spin-orbit coupling at charged scatterers, which leads to skew-scattering and side-jump contributions to the spin-Hall conductivity. Applying the theory to bulk n-GaAs, without any free parameters, we find spin currents that are in reasonable agreement with experiments by Kato et al. [Science 306, 1910 (2004)].
我们发展了一种关于半导体中本征自旋流的理论,该理论源于带电散射体处的自旋轨道耦合,这导致了对自旋霍尔电导率的自旋倾斜散射和侧向跳跃贡献。将该理论应用于体相n型砷化镓,无需任何自由参数,我们发现自旋流与加藤等人[《科学》306, 1910 (2004)]的实验结果合理吻合。
