24. The Hall conductivity is ignored since it is orders of magnitude smaller than the longitudinal conductivity. The diffusion contribution is also ignored, which coarse grains the spatial dependence of the spin current density but does not cause qualitative changes [K.-W. Kim, J.-H. Moon, K.-J. Lee, and H.-W.
