In spin-orbit-coupled systems the charge and spin transport are generally coupled to each other, namely a charge current will induce a spin current and vice versa. In the presence of time-reversal symmetry $T$, the cross-coupling transport…

Spin-polarization is known to lead to important {\it magnetic} and {\it optical} effects in open-shell atoms and elemental solids, but has rarely been implicated in controlling {\it structural} selectivity in compounds and alloys. Here we…
Spin-orbit coupling is a single-particle phenomenon known to generate topological order, and electron-electron interactions cause ordered many-body phases to exist. The rich interplay of these two mechanisms is present in a broad range of…
Spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a major experimental probe of chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), yet it remains unclear whether the measured spin polarization reflects molecular chirality itself or the broader…
