We study the spatial distribution of spin torque induced by a strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) in a ferromagnetic (FM) metal layer, using the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green's function method. In the presence of the s-d interaction…

We study a model of an electron on a cylindrical surface, which is coupled to the torsion field due to a dislocation along the axis of the cylinder. We discuss the effect of this torsion field on the energy spectrum of the electrons and…

Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in low-dimensional systems results in the fascinating property of spin-momentum locking. In a Rashba system the inversion symmetry normal to the plane of a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas is broken, generating…

The Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a well-known mechanism for the spin-charge interconversion via the inverse and direct spin galvanic effects. The lack of a full inversion symmetry allows the coupling of the charge current and spin…

We investigate spin accumulation caused by spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) in a two dimensional electron system confined in one direction. We calculate spin density caused by three kinds of SOIs; arising from edge potential, Rashba and…

The spin-orbit interaction couples the electrons' motion to their spin. Accordingly, passing a current in a material with strong spin-orbit coupling generates a transverse spin current (spin Hall effect, SHE) and vice-versa (inverse spin…

We studied the electric current induced in a two-dimensional electron gas by the spin current, in the presence of Rashba and cubic Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. We found out that the factor relating these currents is not universal,…

The inverse Faraday effect (IFE) refers to the generation of a DC magnetization by circularly polarized light through the transfer of optical angular momentum to electronic degrees of freedom. In conducting systems, this response can arise…

Basic questions on the nature of spin polarization in two terminal systems and the way in which decoherence breaks Time-Reversal Symmetry (TRS) are analyzed. We exactly solve several one-dimensional models of tunneling electrons and show…

We consider ballistic transport through a lateral, two-dimensional superlattice with experimentally realizable, sinusoidally oscillating Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction. The periodic structure of the rectangular lattice produces a…

When subjected to a linearly polarized terahertz pulse, a mesoscopic ring endowed with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of the Rashba-Dresselhaus type exhibits nonuniform azimuthal charge and spin distributions. Both types of SOI couplings are…

Spin transport phenomena in solid materials suffer limitations from spin relaxation associated to disorder or lack of translational invariance. Ultracold atoms, free of that disorder, can provide a platform to observe phenomena beyond the…
