Spin-momentum locking plays a fundamental role in spintronics and, more broadly, is an important concept in condensed matter physics. In 2D and 3D, spin-momentum locking typically does not allow spin-conservation because the spin-1/2…

Spin-orbit coupling in solids describes an interaction between an electron's spin, an internal quantum-mechanical degree of freedom, with its linear momentum, an external property. Spin-orbit interaction, due to its relativistic nature, is…
