We recently reported measurements of spin polarization in W and Pt thin films produced by the spin Hall effect (SHE) using a magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) system based on crossed polarizers that detects changes in light intensity. Riego et al used a generalized magneto-optical ellipsometry system that in principle can distinguish pure optical reflectivity from magneto-optic signals, but were unable to detect SHE polarization in their nominally W, Ta and Pt films. They argued that our results are spurious and likely due to resistive heating which temporally modulates the film temperature and reflectivity, and that any SHE polarization is too small to be detected in metal films. In this comment, we argue that our original results are correct as presented, and discuss why

In this communication we refute a criticism concerning results of our work [3] that was presented in references [1] and [2].
A recent e-print (cond-mat/0604532) presented a proposed Comment to Applied Physics Letters on our publication Appl. Phys. Lett. 88, 162503 (2006), cond-mat/0603260. Here is our Response. As the proposed Comment has now been rejected by Applied Physics Letters, neither the Comment nor the Response will be published in Applied Physics Letters in this form.
In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 187203 (2011)], Fujii et al. reported Mn 2p photoelectron emission spectra for (Ga,Mn)As recorded using hard x-rays. Due to the enhanced bulk sensitivity, hard-x-ray spectra reveal an extra low-binding-energy peak, which is absent in surface-sensitive spectra recorded using soft x-rays. Based on Anderson-impurity-model calculations, Fujii et al. assigned the low-binding-energy peak to a cd6L2 final state, and related the variations in its intensity to variations in the As 4p-Mn 3d hybridization strength V. We show here that the definition of the charge-transfer energy considered by Fujii et al. is different from that considered in the Zaanen-Sawatzky-Allen diagram. We note that the Anderson impurity model is insufficient to describe low-binding-energy peaks in hard-x-ray core-level photoemission for transition-metal compounds on the verge of a metal-insulator transition. We propose a more plausible origin for the (Ga,Mn)As low-binding-energy peak, related to the nature of its metal-insulator transition.
In [J. T. Matta et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 082501 (2015)] a transverse wobbling band was reported in $^{135}$Pr. The critical experimental proof for this assignment is the E2 dominated linking transitions between the wobbling and normal bands, which are supported by two experiments performed with Gammasphere and INGA. However, the M1 dominated character cannot be excluded based on the reported experimental information, indicating that the wobbling assignment is still questionable.
In this paper we develop the excitonic theory of Kerr rotation angle in a two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide at zero magnetic field. The finite Kerr angle is induced by the interplay between spin-orbit splitting and proximity exchange coupling due to the presence of a ferromagnet. We compare the excitonic effect with the single particle theory approach. We show that the excitonic properties of the 2D material lead to a dramatic change in the frequency dependence of the optical response function. We also find that the excitonic corrections enhance the optical response by a factor of two in the case of MoS2 in proximity to a Cobalt thin film.
