When defect scattering is modeled by isotropic short-range potential scatterers the spin Hall conductivity vanishes due to the vertex correction. A nonvanishing spin Hall effect may be recovered for dominantly forward defect scattering.}, pages = {041303--041303}, title = {Suppression of the persistent spin Hall current by defect scattering}, volume = {70}, year = {2004} }
