A key aspect is provided by the electric-field induced in-plane spin polarization. Our results are obtained first in the \\textit{clean} limit where the spin-orbit splitting is much larger than the disorder broadening of the energy levels via the diagrammatic evaluation of the Kubo-formula. Then the results are shown to hold in the full range of the disorder parameter $\\alpha p_F \\tau$ by means of the quasiclassical Green function technique.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-01-11T14:37:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional electron gas", "magneto-spin hall conductivity", "finite spin hall conductivity", "electric-field induced in-plane spin polarization", "out-of-plane spin polarization" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "EPL (Europhysics Letters)", "year": 2008, "month": "Jun", "volume": 82, "number": 6, "pages": 67005 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008EL.....8267005M" } } }
