摘要：
The role of spin-orbit interaction has been exploited to construct an emergent gauge theory in solids. It has been shown that the charge and spin currents in such a solid form a SU(2)xU(1) gauge theory. The lack of gauge symmetry in the SU(2) sector and as a consequence, the non-conservation of spin is spelled out. The phenomenon of spin motive force and spin Hall effect is discussed. The importance of such force in the mesoscopic transport as well as Aharonov-Casher effect is outlined. It is shown that the spin currents in such a theory become the source of electric field.
