Theory of spin pumping and inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect in a two-dimensional electron gas

Abstract

We theoretically investigate spin transport in a junction system composed of a ferromagnetic insulator (FI) and a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. We briefly present our findings on spin pumping into the 2DEG under microwave irradiation and subsequent current generation via the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect. We highlight the crucial role of vertex corrections in the theoretical description of these effects.
