Pure spin current from one-photon absorption of linearly polarized light in noncentrosymmetric semiconductors
Abstract
We show that one-photon absorption of linearly polarized light should produce pure spin currents in noncentrosymmetric semiconductors, including even bulk GaAs. We present 14x14 k.p model calculations of the effect in GaAs, including strain, and pseudopotential calculations of the effect in wurtzite CdSe.
