| Spin Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas with uniform: and random components of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction is considered theoretically. Relaxation time due to scattering on Rashba fluctuations is also calculated. It is shown that the presence of a uniform component of Rashba coupling not only modifies relaxation time, but also suppresses the contribution to the spin Hall conductivity due to random Rashba field. |
