Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 1834–1837 (1999)Spin Hall EffectReceived 24 February 1999; published in the issue dated 30 August 1999 It is proposed that when a charge current circulates in a paramagnetic metal a transverse spin imbalance will be generated, giving rise to a “spin Hall voltage.” Similarly, it is proposed that when a spin current circulates a transverse charge imbalance will be generated, giving rise to a Hall voltage, in the absence of charge current and magnetic field. Based on these principles we propose an experiment to generate and detect a spin current in a paramagnetic metal. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
