a Spin-resolved charge conductivity σ for electric field along x direction. Inset is the dependency of σ on the carrier density n. For light doping, σ increases almost linearly with n. b Angle-dependence of the longitudinal (L) and transverse (T) charge conductivity varying with the electric field direction θ, taken at 0.2 eV below the valance band maximum. The transverse charge conductivity is always opposite for spin-up and spin-down electrons, and hence the transverse charge current is always zero and the charge current direction is always θ. c The corresponding angle-dependence of the longitudinal and transverse spin conductivity. d Relation between directions of charge current J and spin current JS. The spin current always flows along the direction πθ. In details, for θ=±π/2, the spin current will be along the same direction of the charge current, whereas for θ=0 or π, the spin current flow along the opposite direction of the charge current. Moreover, for θ=±π/4 or ±3π/4, there will be large spin Hall effect, where the spin current is perpendicular to the charge current.
