Towards a straightforward semiclassical ab initio description of the side-jump mechanism in the SHE — •Christian Herschbach1,2, Dmitry Fedorov2,1, Martin Gradhand3, and Ingrid Mertig1,21Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Halle, Germany — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Halle, Germany — 3H.

The investigations of the spin Hall effect rely on the separation between intrinsic and extrinsic contributions, where the latter ones imply the skew-scattering and side-jump mechanisms. While the first-principles description of the skew scattering was already successfully implemented [1], a corresponding semiclassical approach for the side-jump mechanism is still missing.

We present a first step into this direction by considering two different simplified approaches. The first one follows a suggestion of Sinitsyn et al. [2] focussing on the host properties expressed in terms of the Berry curvature, which is calculated from first principles [3]. The second approach puts the emphasis on the properties of the impurities by extending the resonant scattering model [4] similarly to the case of skew scattering [5]. Here, the required scattering phase shifts are obtained by means of ab initio calculations.
