Spin Hall Effect

In 2006, the group of Californian theoretical physicists has made an interesting prediction, according to which “sandwich” of the semiconductors with a thin layer of mercury telluride (HgTe) in the middle the electrons will behave in a very unusual way, showing the spin Hall effect. In 2007 the corresponding sandwich was made by ​​experimental physicists from Germany. And they find in it exactly what was predicted by their counterparts from California.
