Vertex Corrections to the Anomalous Hall Effect in Spin-Polarized Two-Dimensional Electron Gases with a Rashba Spin-Orbit Interaction
Abstract
We study the effect of disorder on the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity in a magnetic two-dimensional electron gas with a Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction. We find that anomalous Hall conductivity vanishes unless the lifetime is spin-dependent, similar to the spin Hall conductivity in the nonmagnetic system. In addition, we find that the spin Hall conductivity does not vanish in the presence of magnetic scatterers.
