Generation of spin current by Coulomb drag.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coulomb drag between two quantum wires is exponentially sensitive to the mismatch of their electronic densities. The application of a magnetic field can compensate this mismatch for electrons of opposite spin directions in different wires. The resulting enhanced momentum transfer leads to the conversion of the charge current in the active wire to the spin current in the passive wire.

Spin Hall drag in electronic bilayers.
We predict a new effect in electronic bilayers: spin Hall drag. The effect consists of the generation of spin accumulation across one layer by an electric current along the other layer. It arises from the combined action of spin-orbit and Coulomb interactions. Our theoretical analysis, based on the Boltzmann equation formalism, identifies two main contributions to the spin Hall drag resistivity...
متن کاملSpin-Hall effect and spin-Coulomb drag in doped semiconductors.
In this review, we describe in detail two important spin-transport phenomena: the extrinsic spin-Hall effect (coming from spin-orbit interactions between electrons and impurities) and the spin-Coulomb drag. The interplay of these two phenomena is analyzed. In particular, we discuss the influence of scattering between electrons with opposite spins on the spin current and the spin accumulation pr...
متن کاملSpin Coulomb drag in the two-dimensional electron liquid
We calculate the spin-drag transresistivity ρ↑↓(T ) in a two-dimensional electron gas at temperature T in the random phase approximation. In the lowtemperature regime we show that, at variance with the three-dimensional low-temperature result [ρ↑↓(T ) ∼ T 2], the spin transresistivity of a twodimensional spin unpolarized electron gas has the form ρ↑↓(T ) ∼ T 2 lnT . In the spin-polarized case t...

The article focuses on photon drag effect under laser radiation in solid state materials. This effect causes a high concentration of nonequilibrium electrons in the area of the laser beam the exit out of material. Coulomb interaction of spatial charge of these electrons with the charged impurity atoms can cause their drift in the direction of laser radiation. The photon drag effect can be used ...
متن کاملFinite width and local field corrections to spin coulomb drag in a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas.
We study the spin Coulomb drag in a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas of finite transverse width, including local field corrections beyond the random phase approximation (RPA). We find that the finite transverse width of the electron gas causes a significant reduction of the spin Coulomb drag. This reduction, however, is largely compensated by the enhancement coming from the inclusion of many-...
