We study the linear response spin Hall conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the presence of the Rashba spin orbit interaction in the diffusive transport regime. When defect scattering is modeled by isotropic short-range potential scatterers the spin Hall conductivity vanishes due to the vertex correction. A non-vanishing spin Hall effect may be recovered for dominantly forward defect scattering.

• Current-induced spin-orbit torques in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems (2018, methodology): “Notice that in the specific case of the pure 2D Rashba gas, vertex corrections cancel the intrinsic DL torque unless the momentum relaxation time is spin-dependent (Qaiumzadeh et al., 2015), similar to the cancelation occurring for the intrinsic SHE in pure 2D Rashba gas (Inoue et al., 2004).”
• Spintronics and pseudospintronics in graphene and topological insulators. (2012, unknown): “intrinsic SHE vanishes [56][57][58][59][60].”
