Origin of Spin Hall Effect (Reply to Comment)

TL;DR

This paper discusses the fundamental conceptual framework of the intrinsic spin Hall effect in 3D conductors, focusing on how crystal symmetry and orientation influence the spin Hall current.

Contribution

It provides a theoretical analysis clarifying the origins of the intrinsic spin Hall effect and its dependence on crystal symmetry and orientation.

Findings

Spin Hall current depends on crystal symmetry.

Orientation of the crystal affects the spin Hall effect.

Theoretical insights into the intrinsic spin Hall effect.

Abstract

Conceptual framework behind the intrinsic spin Hall effect in three-dimensional conductors is discussed. Theory suggests how the spin Hall current should depend on symmetry and orientation of the crystal.
