Critical enhancement of the spin Hall effect by spin fluctuations

Abstract The spin Hall (SH) effect, the conversion of the electric current to the spin current along the transverse direction, relies on the relativistic spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here, we develop a microscopic theory on the mechanisms of the SH effect in magnetic metals, where itinerant electrons...
