How the SHE could be used in spintronic applications:
Spintronics need currents that are spin polarized. The conventional method of obtaining a polarized current is to pass an ordinary charge current through aferromagnetic metal.
However, it is difficult to integrate ferromagnetic metals with CMOS [silicon-based]circuits that make up the active memory of computers. Therefore there is great interest in finding nonmagnetic metals or semiconductors which are capable of converting charge to spin currents. As we will see the Spin Hall Effect has this potential; this has lead to the current interest in this effect.
The origins of the SHE are the same as those that have produced the AnomalousHall Effect (AHE) which has been known for over 6-7 decades. The AHE is causedby ordinary charge currents and produces additional contributions to the ordinaryHall effect; it is caused by spin-orbit coupling effects on the band structure, defect scattering, and the expression for the electric current (anomalous velocity or side jump).
The SHE is caused by the same mechanisms but relies on the presence of a spin-polarized current.

Previous work on the SHE:
The term Spin Hall Effect was first used by Jorge Hirsch PRL 83, 1834 (1999).
The idea of a SHE was first proposed by M. I.Dyakonov and V. I. Perel, Phys. Lett. A 35, 459 (1971).
Shufeng Zhang made the first realistic calculation of the signal produced by thisEffect in metals with finite spin diffusion lengths. PRL 85, 393 (2000).
It was further studied by amongst others: J. Sinova, D. Culcer, Q. Niu, N. A. Sinitsyn, T. Jungwirth, A. H. MacDonald, PRL 92, 126603 (2004). Also, seearticles by Jairo Sinova in PRB and PRL 2004-2010; and Sinova’s Viewpoint article “Spin Hall effect goes electrical” in Physics 3, 82 (2010).

1981
The SHE of nonmagnetic Cu alloys
could be detected
using the spin-polarized current
induced by Mn impurities (0.01%)
Today
The SHE of nonmagnetic conductors
can be detected
by injecting a spin-polarized current
from a ferromagntic contact
