The spin Hall effect (SHE) is the conversion of charge current to spin current, and nonmagnetic metals with large SHEs are extremely sought after for spintronic applications, but their rarity has stifled widespread use. Here, we predict and explain the large intrinsic SHE in β-W and the A15 family of superconductors: W<sub>3</sub>Ta, Ta<sub>3</sub>Sb, and Cr<sub>3</sub>Ir having spin Hall conductivities (SHCs) of -2250, -1400, and 1210 ℏ e ( S / cm ) , respectively. Combining concepts from t ...[more]
