This article examines spin currents and spin densities in realistic open semiconductor nanostructures using different tools of quantum-transport theory based on the non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) approach. It begins with an introduction to the essential theoretical formalism and practical computational techniques before explaining what pure spin current is and how pure spin currents can be generated and detected. It then considers the spin-Hall effect (SHE), and especially the mesoscopic SHE, along with spin-orbit couplings in low-dimensional semiconductors. It also describes spin-current operator, spindensity, and spin accumulation in the presence of intrinsic spin-orbit couplings, as well as the NEGF approach to spin transport in multiterminal spin-orbit-coupled nanostructures. The article concludes by reviewing formal developments with examples drawn from the field of the mesoscopic SHE in low-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled semiconductor nanostructures.

AbstractThe orbital Hall effect describes the generation of the orbital current flowing in a perpendicular direction to an external electric field, analogous to the spin Hall effect. As the orbital current carries the angular momentum as the spin current does, injection of the orbital current into a ferromagnet can result in torque on the magnetization, which provides a way to detect the orbital Hall effect. With this motivation, we examine the current-induced spin-orbit torques in various ferromagnet/heavy metal bilayers by theory and experiment. Analysis of the magnetic torque reveals the presence of the contribution from the orbital Hall effect in the heavy metal, which competes with the contribution from the spin Hall effect. In particular, we find that the net torque in Ni/Ta bilayers is opposite in sign to the spin Hall theory prediction but instead consistent with the orbital Hall theory, which unambiguously confirms the orbital torque generated by the orbital Hall effect. Our finding opens a possibility of utilizing the orbital current for spintronic device applications, and it will invigorate researches on spin-orbit-coupled phenomena based on orbital engineering.
