Noble metal Pt with the face-centered-cubic structure is distorted to tetragonal and orthorhombic structures in order to mimic thin films grown on flexible substrates and bending. The electronic structures from the fully relativistic treatment of the kinetic terms were obtained and followed by projecting the extensive states into the localized Wannier orbitals with a minimum basis. The spin Hall conductivity (SHC) was then obtained with the help of the concept of the Berry curvature. We find that tensile strains in-plane can enhance the SHC while the compressive ones reduce the σxyz component of the SHC. The variation of SHC can be as large as 8.6% for every 1% of the strains. Our work shows the possibility of tuning the SHC in metals, which can be utilized in spintronic devices.

四方和正交畸变下Pt膜中的自旋霍尔电导率

具有面心立方结构的贵金属Pt扭曲为四方和正交结构,以模拟在柔性基板上生长并弯曲的薄膜。通过对动力学项的完全相对论性处理获得了电子结构,然后以最小的基础将广泛的状态投影到局部的Wannier轨道中。然后借助贝里曲率的概念获得自旋霍尔电导率(SHC)。我们发现面内拉伸应变可以增强SHC,而压缩应变可以降低SHC。σXÿžSHC的组成部分。每1%的菌株SHC变异可能高达8.6%。我们的工作表明有可能在金属中调整SHC,可以在自旋电子设备中使用。
