    Schematic illustration of the wave reflection at a surface of black phosphorus in a Cartesian coordinate system. A black phosphorus sheet is placed on the top of a homogeneous and isotropic substrate. The photonic SHE occurs on the reflecting surface and exhibits in-plane and transverse spin Hall shifts.
