Abstract: Monolayer black phosphorus (BP), characterized by its direct band gap, high carrier mobility, and pronounced in-plane anisotropy, offers a versatile platform for next-generation nanoelectronic devices. Despite the symmetry-enforced vanishing Berry curvature due to the coexistence of inversion and time-reversal symmetries, we demonstrate that monolayer BP hosts a spin-resolved Berry curvature that drives the intrinsic spin Hall effect. Using a four-band k · p Hamiltonian, we analytically derive the spin-resolved Berry curvature and the orbital magnetic moment. Both quantities peak at the Γ point and exhibit significant anisotropy, decaying more rapidly along the k y direction than the k x direction. Furthermore, the spin Hall conductivity displays a plateau within the band gap that remains robust against temperature fluctuations due to BP's large energy gap. Finally, we identify a finite circular polarization along the k x direction as a potential experimental signature for detecting this spin-resolved Berry curvature. Our results establish monolayer BP as a promising candidate for spintronics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
