Phys. Rev. B 78, 125327 (2008) [5 pages]Spin polarizations and spin Hall currents in a two-dimensional electron gas with magnetic impuritiesReceived 16 May 2008; published 29 September 2008 We consider a two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling, and study the effects of magnetic s-wave and long-range nonmagnetic impurities on the spin-charge dynamics of the system. We focus on voltage induced spin polarizations and their relation to spin Hall currents. Our results are obtained using the quasiclassical Green function technique, and hold in the full range of the disorder parameter αpFτ. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
