Thermally induced spin polarization in a magnetized two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit interaction
The spin polarization induced by a temperature gradient (heat current) in a magnetized two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with a Rashba spin-orbit interaction is considered theoretically within the linear response theory. Using the Matsubara Green's function formalism, we calculate the temperature dependence of the spin polarization for arbitrary orientation of the …
