Origin of inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect detected at the Cu/Bi interface using lateral spin valves
Spin-orbitronics, which exploits the coupling between the spin and the orbital momentum of electrons, relies on the possibility to electrically create and detect pure spin currents without need of ferromagnetic elements. An efficient way to achieve this spin-to-charge conversion (and vice versa) is expected by exploiting the Rashba-Edelstein effect. This …
