Abstract
We investigate spin Hall effect in a three-dimensional Dirac electron system. We derive diffusion equations in the Keldysh formalism and define a spin current from a spin diffusion equation. We solve the obtained diffusion equations in a steady state in the bulk and find that the bulk spin Hall conductivity is non-zero, though that for the conventional spin current is zero.
