Spin Hall conductivity on the anisotropic triangular lattice

Résumé

We present a detailed study of the spin Hall conductivity on a ballistic two-dimensional triangular lattice in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In particular, we focus part of our attention on the effect of the anisotropy of the nearest neighbor hopping amplitude. It is found that the presence of anisotropy has drastic effects on the spin Hall conductivity, especially in the hole doped regime where a significant increase or/and reversed sign of the spin Hall conductivity has been obtained. We also provide a systematic analysis of the numerical results in terms of Berry phases. The changes of signs observed at particular density of carriers appear to be a consequence of both Fermi surface topology and change of sign of electron velocity. In addition, in contrast to the two-dimensional square lattice, it is shown that the tight binding spin-orbit Hamiltonian should be derived carefully from the continuous model on the triangular lattice.
