Theory of inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect induced by spin pumping into a two-dimensional electron gas

The inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) induced by spin pumping from an adjacent ferromagnetic insulator (FI) is investigated theoretically. In particular, spin and current densities in the 2DEG in which both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions coexist are formulated, and their dependencies on ferromagnetic resonance frequency and orientation of the spin in the FI are clarified. It is shown that spin density diverges when the ratio between the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions approaches unity, while current density stays finite there. These results can be applied for evaluating spin splitting on the Fermi surface in a 2DEG and designing spintronic devices using IREE.

Effect of vertex corrections on the enhancement of Gilbert damping in spin pumping into a two-dimensional electron gas

We theoretically consider the effect of vertex correction on spin pumping from a ferromagnetic insulator (FI) into a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in which the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions coexist. The Gilbert damping in the FI is enhanced by elastic spin-flipping or magnon absorption. We show that the Gilbert damping due to elastic spin-flipping is strongly enhanced by the vertex correction when the ratio of the two spin-orbit interactions is near a special value at which the spin relaxation time diverges while that due to magnon absorption shows only small modification. We also show that the shift in the resonant frequency due to elastic spin-flipping is strongly enhanced in a similar way as the Gilbert damping.

Spin pumping of two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions

We theoretically consider spin pumping in a junction between a ferromagnetic insulator (FI) and a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in which the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions coexist. Using second-order perturbation theory, we derive an increase in linewidth in the case of an interfacial exchange coupling in a ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) experiment. We clarify how the enhancement of Gilbert damping depends on the resonant frequency and spin orientation of the FI. We show that this setup of an FMR experiment can provide information on the spin texture of 2DEG at the Fermi surface.
