Abstract
A spin-related photocurrent excited by circularly polarized light is observed near the electrodes on a few-layer ReS2 sample at room temperature. For both electrodes, the spatial distribution of the spin photocurrent shows a feature of two wings, with one positive and the other negative. In this work, it is suggested that this phenomenon arises from the inverse spin Hall effect due to the local electric field near the electrode. Bias voltage that modulates this field further controls the sign and magnitude of the spin photocurrent. Our research shows that the electric field near the electrodes has a significant impact on the spin transmission operation, and hence it could be taken into account for manufacturing spintronic devices in the future.
