Abstract

We calculate the electrically induced spin accumulation in diffusive systems due to both Rashba (with strength alpha) and Dresselhaus (with strength beta) spin-orbit interaction. Using a diffusion equation approach we find that magnetoelectric effects disappear and that there is thus no spin accumulation when both interactions have the same strength, alpha = +/- beta. In thermodynamically large ...
