The problem of scattering of the two-dimensional electron gas on the lateral one-dimensional superlattice both having different strengths of Rashba spin-orbit coupling is investigated. The scattering is considered for all the electron…
We report studies of the magnetospectroscopy of graphite into a new regime of high energies and ultra-high magnetic fields which allows us to perform the first spectroscopic studies of the interlayer split off bands, $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$.…
Rashba spin-orbit coupling appears in 2D systems lacking inversion symmetry, and causes the spin-splitting of otherwise degenerate energy bands into an upper and lower helicity band. In this paper, we explore how impurity scattering affects…
We review the theoretical description of spin-orbit scattering and electron spin resonance in carbon nanotubes. Particular emphasis is laid on the effects of electron-electron interactions. The spin-orbit coupling is derived, and the…
Two relativistic approaches to charged-current quasielastic neutrino-nucleus scattering are illustrated and compared: one is phenomenological and based on the superscaling behavior of electron scattering data and the other relies on the…
We study potential scattering in a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the limit that the energy of the scattering electron approaches the bottom of the lower spin-split band. Focusing on two spin-independent…
We investigate a quantum non-relativistic system describing the interaction of two particles with spin 1/2 and spin 0, respectively. Assuming that the Hamiltonian is rotationally invariant and parity conserving we identify all such systems…
In this work, we have studied the spin-dependent ballistic transport and anomalous quantum tunnelling in Bilayer Graphene (BLG) hybrid connected to two Rashba-Zeeman (RZ) leads under an external electric biasing. We investigated the…
The presence of electron-electron interactions in one dimension profoundly changes the properties of a system. The separation of charge and spin degrees of freedom is just one example. We consider what happens when a system consisting of a…
We present a theoretical study of elastic spin-dependent electron scattering caused by a nonuniform Rashba spin-orbit coupling strength. Using the spin-generalized method of partial waves the scattering amplitude is exactly derived for the…
Kane and Mele predicted that in presence of spin-orbit interaction graphene realizes the quantum spin Hall state. However, exceptionally weak intrinsic spin-orbit splitting in graphene ($\approx 10^{-5}$ eV) inhibits experimental…
We present an analytic description of ultracold collision between two spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fermions with isotropic spin-orbit coupling of the Rashba type. We show that regardless of how weak the spin-orbit coupling may be, the ultracold…
Zitterbewegung is a striking consequence of relativistic quantum mechanics which predicts that free Dirac electrons exhibit a rapid trembling motion even in the absence of external forces. The trembling motion of an electron results from…
We demonstrate both classically and quantum mechanically that the Zitterbewegung (ZB, the trembling motion) of electrons in crystalline solids is nothing else, but oscillations of velocity assuring the energy conservation when the electron…
Zitterbewegung (ZBW), the trembling motion predicted by the Dirac equation, has long remained unobservable in free electrons due to its sub-Compton scale. We elaborately construct a relativistic vortex electron wave packet as a coherent…
The magnetoelectronic properties of quasi-one-dimensional zigzag graphene nanoribbons are investigated by using the Peierls tight-binding model. Quasi-Landau levels (QLLs), dispersionless Landau subbands within a certain region of k-space,…
Zitterbewegung of a Dirac electron is an oscillation between positive and negative energy states, and is thus distinct from the analogous phenomena exhibited by spin half charged particles in electric and magnetic fields. Quantum field…
Rashba effect in 2D systems is extensively studied nowadays due to spintronics applications. The Letter studies the fundamentals of spin-orbit interaction in 2D systems. Experimental evidence is claimed for the rotation of the spin…
Zitterbewegung, a force-free trembling motion first predicted for relativistic fermions like electrons, was an unexpected consequence of the Dirac equation's unification of quantum mechanics and special relativity. Though the oscillatory…
Polaritons, in particular microcavity exciton-polaritons, have attracted much attention in recent years, as the phenomena of Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity have been observed for these quasiparticles. While the basic physics…
