Spin Hall effect on a noncommutative space

Abstract

We study the spin-orbital interaction and the spin Hall effect(SHE) of an electron moving on a noncommutative space under the influence of a vector potential A. On a noncommutative space we find that the commutator between the vector potential A and the electric potential V_1(r) of lattice induces a new term which can be treated as an effective electric field, and the spin-Hall conductivity obtains some correction. In addition, the spin current as well as spin-Hall conductivity have distinct values in different direction. On a noncommutative space we derive the spin-depended electric current whose expectation value gives the spin Hall effect and spin Hall conductivity. We have defined a new parameter \varsigma=\rho\theta (\rho is electron concentration, \theta is noncommutative parameter) which can be measured experimentally. Our approach is based on the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation which give a general Hamiltonian of a non-relativistic electron moving on a noncommutative space.Comment: 5 pages, references added, typos correcte

Influences of a topological defect on the spin Hall effect

“…In Ref. [15], SHE on noncommutative space was investigated, showing that on noncommutative space, these is a preferable direction for spin flow, and deformed accumulations of spin states on the edges of the sample will occur. Based on a semiclassical approach to noncommutative quantum mechanics, SHE has also been discussed in Refs.…”

Hall Conductivity in the Cosmic Defect and Dislocation Spacetime

“…Various studies on the electromagnetic dynamics of the magnetic and electric dipole moments shown that both their global and local physical properties can be sensitive to non-trivial geometries [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, it is still difficult to observe them experimentally.…”

An analogue of the quantum Hall conductivity for a magnetic quadrupole moment

“…At present days, the quantum Hall effect has been investigated in non-inertial systems [8][9][10][11], in the presence of topological defects [12,13], in Aharonov-Casher systems [14][15][16], anyons [17], graphene [18,19], superconducting arrays [20], noncommutative quantum mechanics [21][22][23][24] and in a background of the violation of the Lorentz symmetry [25]. In studies of the quantum Hall effect, the Landau quantization [26,27] is the simplest system that we can work with, then, with the purpose of extending to neutral particle systems, analogues of the Landau quantization have been proposed in recent years to neutral particles that possess permanent magnetic dipole moment [14], permanent electric dipole moment [28,29] and electric quadrupole moment [30].…”
