We develop a theory of extrinsic spin currents in semiconductors, resulting
from spin-orbit coupling at charged scatterers, which leads to skew scattering
and side jump contributions to the spin Hall conductance. Applying the theory
to bulk n-GaAs, without any free parameters, we find spin currents that are in
reasonable agreement with recent experiments by Kato et al. [Science 306, 1910
(2004)].Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
