The contribution of spin torque to spin Hall coefficient and spin motive force in spin-orbit coupling system

We derive rigorously the relativistic angular momentum conservation equation by means of quantum electrodynamics. The novel nonrelativistic spin current and torque in the spin-orbit coupling system, up to the order of $1/c^{4}$, are exactly investigated by using Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. We find a perfect spin Hall coefficient including the contribution of spin torque dipole. A novel spin motive force, analogue to the Lorentz force, is also obtained for understanding of the spin Hall effect.

Topological Force and Torque in Spin-Orbit Coupling System

The topological force and torque are investigated in the systems with spin-orbit coupling. Our results show that the topological force and torque appears as a pure relativistic quantum effect in an electromagnetic field. The origin of both topological force and torque is the Zitterbewegung effect. Considering nonlinear behaviors of spin-orbit coupling, we address possible phenomena driven by the topological forces.
