Calculation is carried out for the Rashba spin-orbit interaction treating the coupling with a ferromagnet perturbatively. The results indicate the validity of the concept of effective spin gauge field (spin motive force) in the non-local configuration. The inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect observed for a trilayer of a ferromagnet, a normal metal and a heavy metal can be explained in terms of the non-local effective spin gauge field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-20T23:08:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rashba spin-orbit interaction", "non-local spin-charge conversion", "non-local effective spin gauge field", "inverse rashba-edelstein effect" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
