We study the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) in various 5d transition metals (Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au) and 4d transition metals (Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, and Ag) based on the Naval Research Laboratory tight-binding model, which enables us to perform quantitatively reliable analysis. In each metal, the obtained intrinsic SHC is independent of resistivity in the low resistive regime (ρ<50 μΩ cm) whereas it decreases in proportion to ρ−2 in the high resistive regime. In the low resistive regime, the SHC takes a large positive value in Pt and Pd, both of which have approximately nine d electrons per ion (nd=9). On the other hand, the SHC takes a large negative value in Ta, Nb, W, and Mo, where nd<5. In transition metals, a conduction electron acquires the trajectory-dependent phase factor that originates from the atomic wave function. This phase factor, which is reminiscent of the Aharonov–Bohm phase, is the origin of the SHC in paramagnetic metals and that of the anomalous Hall conductivity in ferromagnetic metals. Furthermore, each transition metal shows huge and positive d-orbital Hall conductivity (OHC), independent of the strength of the spin-orbit interaction. Since the OHC is much larger than the SHC, it will be possible to realize an orbitronics device made of transition metals.

In many strongly correlated electron systems, remarkable violation of the relaxation time approximation (RTA) is observed. The most famous example would be high-Tc superconductors (HTSCs), and similar anomalous transport phenomena have been observed in metals near their antiferromagnetic (AF) quantum critical point (QCP). Here, we develop a transport theory involving resistivity and Hall coefficient on the basis of the microscopic Fermi liquid theory, by considering the current vertex correction (CVC). In nearly AF Fermi liquids, the CVC accounts for the significant enhancements in the Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance, thermoelectric power, and Nernst coefficient in nearly AF metals. According to the numerical study, aspects of anomalous transport phenomena in HTSC are explained in a unified way by considering the CVC, without introducing any fitting parameters; this strongly supports the idea that HTSCs are Fermi liquids with strong AF fluctuations. In addition, the striking \omega-dependence of the AC Hall coefficient and the remarkable effects of impurities on the transport coefficients in HTSCs appear to fit naturally into the present theory. The present theory also explains very similar anomalous transport phenomena occurring in CeCoIn5 and CeRhIn5, which is a heavy-fermion system near the AF QCP, and in the organic superconductor \kappa-(BEDT-TTF).

In hole-doped high-Tc superconductors, thermal conductivity κ increases drastically just below Tc, which has been considered as a hallmark of a nodal gap. In contrast, such a coherence peak in κ is not visible in electron-doped compounds, which may indicate a full-gap state such as a d+is-wave state. To settle this problem, we study κ in the Hubbard model using the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation, which predicts that the nodal d-wave state is realized in both hole- and electron-doped compounds. The contrasting behavior of κ in both compounds originates from the differences in the hot/cold spot structure. In general, a prominent coherence peak in κ appears in line-node superconductors only when the cold spot exists on the nodal line.

We study optical Hall conductivity for high-Tc superconductors on the basis of microscopic Fermi liquid theory. Current vertex corrections (CVCs) are correctly taken into account to satisfy the conservation laws, and are performed for the first time for optical conductivities based on the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation. We find that (I) the CVC emphasizes the ω-dependence of σxy(ω) significantly when the antiferromagnetic (AF) fluctuations are strong. For this reason, the relation σxy(ω)∼{σxx(ω)}2, which is satisfied in the extended Drude model given by the relaxation time approximation (RTA), is completely violated for a wide range of frequencies. Consequently, (II) the optical Hall coefficient RH(ω) strongly depends on ω below infrared frequencies, which is consistent with experimental observations. Interestingly, although σxx(ω) does not follow a simple Drude form due to the ω-dependence of the relaxation time τ, θH(ω) and σxy(ω) follow approximate simple Drude forms since the ω-dependences of τ and CVC almost cancel each other out. In conclusion, anomalous optical transport phenomena in high-Tc superconductors, which had been frequently assumed to be as evidence of the breakdown of the Fermi liquid state, can be well explained in terms of the nearly AF Fermi liquid once the CVC is taken into account.
