The magnetization is an indication of spin-carrying currents due to the spin-orbit interaction. The origin of the magnetization, however, is essentially different from the "spin accumulation" in two-dimensional systems with spin-orbit interactions.6 pages, 7 figures; to appear in Solid State CommunicationsMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsMaterials Sciencetext
