= Spin Hall effect
{wiki=Spin_Hall_effect}
The Spin Hall Effect (SHE) is a physical phenomenon observed in certain materials, particularly in solid-state systems, where a transverse spin current is generated in response to an applied electric field. Unlike the conventional Hall effect, which produces a charge current that flows parallel to the applied electric field and results in a transverse voltage due to charge carriers deflecting, the Spin Hall Effect is concerned with the generation of spin polarization rather than charge separation.
