The spin Hall effect (SHE) and the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) are closely related transport phenomena both caused by spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Their straightforward theoretical description requires rigorous but demanding ab initio calculations based on relativistic codes. Recently, phase shift models [1,2] were developed as a generalization of the resonant scattering models [3-6]. They provide a simplified description of the SHE with a good qualitative agreement to first-principles results obtained for dilute alloys based on host crystals with free-electron like Fermi surfaces and weak SOC [7].
Here, we employ these phase shift models for a description of the AHE caused by 3d impurities in noble metals. The obtained results are compared to the corresponding ab initio calculations performed within a semiclassical approach of Ref. [8].
