The Zeeman coupling between the field and the electron spin leads to a spin dependent force, and to spin accumulation at the edges. We compare the effect of this relativistic correction to the electron dynamics to the features induced by the spin-orbit interaction. The effect of current induced magnetic fields on the spin Hall effect can be comparable to the extrinsic contribution from the spin-orbit interaction, although it does not require the presence of heavy elements with a strong spin-orbit interaction.engAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/es/Spin imbalance of charge carriers induced by an electric currentjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2019.165904https://www.sciencedirect.com/open access538.9Materials ScienceMultidisciplinaryPhysicsCondensed MatterFísica de materialesFísica del estado sólido2211 Física del Estado Sólido
