The spin Seebeck effect refers to the generation of a spin voltage caused by a temperature
gradient in a ferromagnet, which enables the thermal injection of spin currents from the …

In systems with broken spatial inversion symmetry, such as surfaces, interfaces, or bulk
systems lacking an inversion center, the application of a charge current can generate finite …

The generation, manipulation and detection of spin-polarized electrons in nanostructures
define the main challenges of spin-based electronics. Among the different approaches for …

The spin Hall effect is a spin–orbit coupling phenomenon, which enables electric generation
and detection of spin currents. This relativistic effect provides a way for realizing efficient …

The spin–orbit interaction in a solid couples the spin of an electron to its momentum. This
coupling gives rise to mutual conversion between spin and charge currents: the direct and …

We have studied the charge to spin conversion in Bi1− x Sb x/CoFeB heterostructures. The
spin Hall conductivity (SHC) of the sputter-deposited heterostructures exhibits a high plateau …

Electrically induced electron spin polarization is imaged in n-type ZnSe epilayers using Kerr
rotation spectroscopy. Despite no evidence for an electrically induced internal magnetic …

In solid state conductors, linear response to a steady electric field is normally dominated by
Bloch state occupation number changes that are correlated with group velocity and lead to a …

We present an overview of gauge fields in spintronics, focusing on their origin and physical
consequences. Important topics, such as the Berry gauge field associated with adiabatic …

This book is devoted to the description of Bosonic and Fermionic systems: metallic clusters;
quantum dots, wires, rings and molecules; trapped Fermi and Bose atoms; liquid drops of …
