We study the unidirectional magnetoresistance (UMR) and the nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE) in the ferromagnetic Rashba model. For this purpose we derive expressions to describe the response of the electric current quadratic in the applied electric field. We compare two different formalisms, namely the standard Keldysh nonequilibrium formalism and the Moyal-Keldysh formalism, to derive the nonlinear conductivities of UMR and NLHE. We find that both formalisms lead to identical numerical results when applied to the ferromagnetic Rashba model. The UMR and the NLHE nonlinear conductivities tend to be comparable in magnitude according to our calculations. Additionally, their dependencies on the Rashba parameter and on the quasiparticle broadening are similar. The nonlinear zero-frequency response considered here is several orders of magnitude higher than the one at optical frequencies that describes the photocurrent generation in the ferromagnetic Rashba model. Additionally, we compare our Keldysh nonequilibrium expression in the independent-particle approximation to literature expressions of the UMR that have been obtained within the constant relaxation time approximation of the Boltzmann formalism. We find that both formalisms converge to the same analytical formula in the limit of infinite relaxation time. However, remarkably, we find that the Boltzmann result does not correspond to the intraband term of the Keldysh expression. Instead, the Boltzmann result corresponds to the sum of the intraband term and an interband term that can be brought into the form of an effective intraband term due to the f-sum rule.

We review the recently discovered spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) and related effects from a theoretical point of view. The SMR is observed in bilayers of a magnetic insulator and a metal, in which spin currents aregenerated in the normal metal due
to the spin Hall effect. The associated angular momentum transfer to the ferromagnetic layer and thereby the electrical resistance is modulated by the angle between the applied current and the magnetization direction. The SMR provides a convenient tool to non-invasively measure the magnetization direction and spin-transfer torque to an insulator. We introduce the minimal theoretical instruments to calculate the SMR, i.e. spin diffusion theory and quantum mechanical boundary conditions. This leads to a small set of parameters that can be fitted to experiments. We discuss the limitations of the theory as well as alternative mechanisms such as the ferromagnetic proximity effect and Rashba spin-orbit torques, and point out new developments related to the SMR.
The resistivity, temperature, and magnetic field dependence of the anomalous Hall effect in a series of metallic Ga1-xMnxAs thin films with 0.015=<x=<0.08 is presented. A quadratic dependence of the anomalous Hall resistance on the resistivity is obs
erved, with a magnitude which is in agreement with Berry phase theories of the anomalous Hall effect in dilute magnetic semiconductors.
The nonlinear Hall effect is an unconventional response, in which a voltage can be driven by two perpendicular currents in the Hall-bar measurement. Unprecedented in the family of the Hall effects, it can survive time-reversal symmetry but is sensiti
ve to the breaking of discrete and crystal symmetries. It is a quantum transport phenomenon that has deep connection with the Berry curvature. However, a full quantum description is still absent. Here we construct a quantum theory of the nonlinear Hall effect by using the diagrammatic technique. Quite different from nonlinear optics, nearly all the diagrams account for the disorder effects, which play decisive role in the electronic transport. After including the disorder contributions in terms of the Feynman diagrams, the total nonlinear Hall conductivity is enhanced but its sign remains unchanged for the 2D tilted Dirac model, compared to the one with only the Berry curvature contribution. We discuss the symmetry of the nonlinear conductivity tensor and predict a pure disorder-induced nonlinear Hall effect for point groups $C_{3}$, $C_{3h}$, $C_{3v}$, $D_{3h}$, $D_{3}$ in 2D, and $T$, $T_{d}$, $C_{3h}$, $D_{3h}$ in 3D. This work will be helpful for explorations of the topological physics beyond the linear regime.
Relating magnetotransport properties to specific spin textures at surfaces or interfaces is an intense field of research nowadays. Here, we investigate the variation of the electrical resistance of Ge(111) grown epitaxially on semi-insulating Si(111)
under the application of an external magnetic field. We find a magnetoresistance term which is linear in current density j and magnetic field B, hence odd in j and B, corresponding to a unidirectional magnetoresistance. At 15 K, for I = 10 $mu$A (or j = 0.33 A/m) and B = 1 T, it represents 0.5 % of the zero field resistance, a much higher value compared to previous reports on unidirectional magnetoresistance. We ascribe the origin of this magnetoresistance to the interplay between the externally applied magnetic field and the current-induced pseudo-magnetic field in the spin-splitted subsurface states of Ge(111). This unidirectional magnetoresistance is independent of the current direction with respect to the Ge crystal axes. It progressively vanishes, either using a negative gate voltage due to carrier activation into the bulk (without spin-splitted bands), or by increasing the temperature due to the Rashba energy splitting of the subsurface states lower than $sim$58 k$_B$. The highly developed technologies on semiconductor platforms would allow the rapid optimization of devices based on this phenomenon.
The spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) and anomalous Hall effect (AHE) are observed in a Cr2O3/Ta structure. The structural and surface morphology of Cr2O3/Ta bilayers have been investigated. Temperature dependence of longitudinal and transverse resis
tances measurements confirm the relationship between SMR and AHE signals in Cr2O3/Ta structure. By means of temperature dependent magnetoresistance measurements, the physical origin of SMR in the Cr2O3/Ta structure is revealed, and the contribution to the SMR from the spin current generated by AHE has been proved. The so-called boundary magnetization due to the bulk antiferromagnetic order in Cr2O3 film may be responsible for the relationship of SMR and AHE in the Cr2O3/Ta bilayer.
