Abstract

In this chapter, transport properties raised by antisymmetric spin-orbit interactions in noncentrosymmetric systems are discussed. We consider magnetoelectric effects, the anomalous Hall effect, the spin Hall effect, and topological transport phenomena which are in analogy with the quantum spin Hall effect realized in \(Z_2\) topological insulators. These topics are supposed to be relevant to potential applications to spintronics.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The argument in Ref. [20] on the additive contribution of magnetization currents for the case of the Rashba model (Eq. (8.86) in Ref. [20]) is not correct.
