In a thin strip of a two-dimensional semiconductor electronic system,spin-orbit coupling may be induced near both edges of the strip due to thesubstantial spatial variation of the confining potential in the boundaryregions. In this paper we show that, in the presence of boundary-confinementinduced spin-orbit coupling, a longitudinal charge current circulating througha 2D semiconductor strip may cause \textit{strong} non-equilibrium spinaccumulation near both edges of the strip. The spins will be polarized alongthe normal of the 2DEG plane but in opposite directions at both edges of thestrip. This phenomenon is essentially a kinetic magnetoelectric effect from thetheoretical points of view, but it manifests in a very similar form as wasconceived in a spin Hall effect.Comment: 7 pages, 4 fig
