Spin Hall Effect with Space Inversion Symmetry.
Unlike the conventional spin Hall effect (SHE) generated by the spin-orbit interaction which requires space-inversion-symmetry (SIS) breaking, we show that SHE can emerge in a broad class of many-body systems with SIS. Here the SHE arises from the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) between particles which preserves SIS. As a concrete example, we show both analytically and numerically that the SHE can be observed in a system of ultracold heteronuclear molecules in an optical lattice. The DDI-induced SHE offers a complementary tool to generate spin currents, which constitutes an essential ingredient in spintronics.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
