Abstract

A fully relativistic description of the spin-orbit induced spin Hall effect is presented that is based on Kubo’s linear response formalism. Using an appropriate operator for the spin-current density a Kubo-Středa-like equation for the spin Hall conductivity (SHC) is obtained. An implementation using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker band structure method in combination with the coherent potential ...
