Spin Hall effects in metals

A Hoffmann - IEEE transactions on magnetics, 2013‏ - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Spin Hall effects convert charge currents into spin currents and vice versa even in
nonmagnetic conductors due to spin orbit coupling. This enables spin Hall effects to be …

Spin Hall magnetoresistance induced by a nonequilibrium proximity effect

H Nakayama, M Althammer, YT Chen, K Uchida… - Physical review …, 2013‏ - APS
We report anisotropic magnetoresistance in Pt| Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 bilayers. In spite of Y 3 Fe 5 O
12 being a very good electrical insulator, the resistance of the Pt layer reflects its …
