When non-solid matter (e.g., liquids or gas) is under constant volume V and density rho (e.g., in rigid box), spatial positions for their constituents are restricted by these conditions. We recently focus on the role of constraint in…
Spin polarization effects in nonmagnetic materials are generally believed as an outcome of spin-orbit coupling provided that the global inversion symmetry is lacking, also known as 'spin-momentum locking'. The recently discovered hidden…
The persistent spin helix (PSH) is robust against spin-independent scattering and renders an extremely long spin lifetime, which can improve the performance of potential spintronic devices. To achieve the PSH, a unidirectional spin…
