Inverse Edelstein Effect
arXiv:1311.6516 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.096601
Abstract
We provide a precise microscopic definition of the recently observed "Inverse Edelstein Effect" (IEE), in which a non-equilibrium spin accumulation in the plane of a two-dimensional (interfacial) electron gas drives an electric current perpendicular to its own direction. The drift-diffusion equations that govern the effect are presented and applied to the interpretation of the experiments.
