From: Observation of spin-orbit effects with spin rotation symmetry
Spin–orbit effects with conventional and rotated symmetries. a Spin currents generated from a charge current near the FM/NM interface. The red and dark blue arrows represent spins. The light blue and yellow arrows represent the spin current with conventional symmetry, \({{\bf{Q}}_{\hat {\bf{\sigma }}}}\), and the spin current with spin-rotation symmetry, \({\bf{Q}}_{\hat {\bf{\sigma }}}^{\rm{R}}\), respectively. The gray arrow represents the charge current j e . b A sketch of the reciprocal process to illustrate how the conventional and rotated charge currents are generated by a pure spin current near the FM/NM interface
