Interface disorder as the cause for the kinetic Rashba-Edelstein effect and interface spin-Hall effect at a metal-insulator boundary

The spin phenomena observed at a clean metal-insulator interface are typically reduced to the Rashba-Edelstein effect, which leads to spin accumulation over a few monolayers. We demonstrate that the presence of interface disorder significantly expands the range of potential phenomena. Specifically,...
