The spin-Hall stationarity conditions in the light of the second law of thermodynamics — •Jean-Eric Wegrowe1, Rober Benda1, Jean-Michel Dejardin2, and Miguel Rubi31LSI, Ecole polytechnique, Palaiseau, France — 2Laboratoire de Mathématique et Physique, Université de Perpignan, France — 3Facultat de Fisica, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain

The determination of the stationary states for the bulk spin-Hall effect are discussed in the context of the two spin-channel model. It is shown that the usual stationarity condition (namely no explicit time-dependence) leads to an indeterminacy: different stationary states can equally be defined [1]. A first state S1 is characterized by a transverse pure spin current and no electric field while a second stationary state S2 is characterized by spin-dependent electric fields and no transverse current. The two states have the same properties with respect to spin-accumulation and spin-Hall angle, but not with respect to the total power dissipated.

The application of the second law of thermodynamics allows a reformulation of the problem in the form of a variational principle under constraints (Kirchhoff-Helmholtz principle). The constraints include charge accumulation and spin-flip scattering. The stationary state is then defined univocally: the first state S1 is found for the Corbino disk while the second state S2 is found for the Hall bar [2].
