In this work, we reveal that the side-jump contribution due to electron-phonon scattering, the primary source of scattering in clean samples, can in fact acquire substantial temperature dependence when the temperature drops below the high-temperature classical regime of equipartition law. We demonstrate this phenomenon in an analytic model, supplemented by a first-principles calculation for pure Pt. Experimentally accessible high-purity Pt is proposed to be suitable for observing the predicted prominent variation of the spin Hall conductivity below 80 K.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-08T02:35:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin hall conductivity", "side-jump contribution", "fact acquire substantial temperature dependence", "anomalous/spin hall conductivities", "predicted prominent variation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
