SU(2)non-Abelian holonomy and dissipationless spin current in semiconductors

Open access

Abstract

Following our previous work [S. Murakami, N. Nagaosa, and S. C. Zhang, Science 301, 1348 (2003)] on the dissipationless quantum spin current, we present an exact quantum-mechanical calculation of this novel effect based on the linear-response theory and the Kubo formula. We show that it is possible to define an exactly conserved spin current, even in the presence of the spin-orbit coupling in the Luttinger Hamiltonian of $p$-type semiconductors. The light- and the heavy-hole bands form two Kramers doublets, and an $\text{SU}(2)$ non-Abelian gauge field acts naturally on each of the doublets. This quantum holonomy gives rise to a monopole structure in momentum space, whose curvature tensor directly leads to the novel dissipationless spin Hall effect, i.e., a transverse spin current is generated by an electric field. The result obtained in the current work gives a quantum correction to the spin current obtained in the previous semiclassical approximation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
