Supplementary Figure 1: (a), (b) The second-order charge current perpendicular to the electric field at meVÅand as a function of and obtained using the (a) SLA and (b) RTA, and (c) their differences.
Fig. 1 shows a comparison between the second-order charge current flowing perpendicular to the applied electric field calculated using the Schliemann-Loss and relaxation-time approximation approaches, in which the relaxation time was taken as the mean value of over the Fermi surfaces of both bands. The RTA produces qualitatively similar results to the Schliemann-Loss approach but underestimates the magnitudes of the second-order response.
Supplementary Figure 2: The (a, c, e) first-order responses for the (a) spin accumulation perpendicular to the magnetization direction , (b) spin current with spin polarization parallel to the magnetization direction flowing parallel to the applied electric field , (c) and spin current parallel to the magnetization direction flowing perpendicular to the applied electric field , and (b, d, f) the corresponding second-order responses as functions of the magnetization direction and the SOC parameter for Åand Å.
Fig. 2 shows the first- and second-order responses for the spin accumulations perpendicular to the magnetization direction and the spin currents with spin polarizations parallel to the magnetization directions flowing parallel and perpendicular to the applied electric field. The results at and at are consistent with Tables I and II in the main manuscript, respectively. Interestingly, a finite second-order spin accumulation perpendicular to the magnetization directions at intermediate magnetization angles between the and directions emerges in Fig. 2b.
Supplementary Figure 3: The second-order responses for the charge current perpendicular to the applied electric field as functions of (a), (b) and at (a) eVÅ3 and (b) eVÅ3, and as functions of (c), (d) and at (c) eVÅ3 and (d) eVÅ3. The black dotted line in each plot denotes the locus of the points where .
Fig. 3 shows the variation of with , , and . For the parameter ranges in this studyt, does not have a substantial effect on the sign of , as indicated by the fact that the dotted black lines denoting the points where are almost vertical. Fig. 3a and b show that the sign of can be switched by varying , and Fig. 3c and d show that the sign of can be switched by varying .
