Extrinsic spin Hall effect in metallic films from first principles — •Christian Herschbach1,2, Martin Gradhand3, Dmitry Fedorov1,2, Peter Zahn2, and Ingrid Mertig1,21Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Weinberg 2, D-06120 Hall, Germany — 2Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, D-06099 Halle, Germany — 3H.

We present ab initio calculations of the skew scattering contribution to the spin Hall effect for free-standing fcc Au(111) films with sub- stitutional Pt impurities. Their thickness is varied between 1 and 32 monolayers. The calculated spin Hall angle changes drastically as a function of impurity position within the film. We show that adatoms play a special role. In particular, they cause a sign change of the spin Hall angle. Moreover, Pt adatoms on a 1 monolayer Au film give rise to a drastic enhancement of the spin Hall angle.
