"Relativistic effects in scattering of polarized electrons":
The right-left asymmetry (skew scattering) and the side jump effect are manifestations of the spin-orbit interaction in scattering of polarized electrons. While the side jump effect is less known than the right-left asymmetry, the effect is of conceptual importance for generic spin-orbital physics, and the effect is widely discussed in spintronics. In my talk I discuss both effects in detail and present new results obtained with account for the exact nonperturbative electron wave function inside the atom/impurity/host atomic core. These results change our view on the importance of side jump.
