We analyze the spin-orbit coupling effects in a three-degree twisted bilayer heterostructure made of graphene and an in-plane ferroelectric SnTe, with the goal of transferring the spin-orbit coupling from SnTe to graphene, via the proximity…

We present first-principles calculations of the electronic band structure and spin-orbit effects in graphene functionalized with methyl molecules in dense and dilute limits. The dense limit is represented by a 2$\times$2 graphene supercell…

We investigate the effects of Rashba and intrinsic spin-orbit couplings in graphynes. First, we develop a general method to address spin-orbit couplings within the tight-binding theory. Then, we apply this method to $\alpha$, $\beta$, and…

We consider spin effects related to the random spin-orbit interaction in graphene. Such a random interaction can result from the presence of ripples and/or other inhomogeneities at the graphene surface. We show that the random spin-orbit…

We introduce a $p_{z}-d$ coupling model Hamiltonian for the $\pi$-graphene/Au bands that predicts a rather large intrinsic spin-orbit (SO) coupling as are being reported in recent experiments and DFT studies. Working within the analytical…

Starting from a microscopic tight-binding model and using second order perturbation theory, we derive explicit expressions for the intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit interaction induced gaps in the Dirac-like low-energy band structure of an…

Spin-orbit coupling links a particle's velocity to its quantum mechanical spin, and is essential in numerous condensed matter phenomena, including topological insulators and Majorana fermions. In solid-state materials, spin-orbit coupling…

We report a well-resolved 0.7 conductance anomaly at $G = 0.7\times(2e^2/h)$ in bilayer graphene/WSe$_2$ quantum point contacts. Proximity-enhanced spin-orbit coupling splits the four-fold ground state of bilayer graphene into…

We investigate how spins relax in intrinsic graphene. The spin-orbit coupling arises from the band structure and is enhanced by ripples. The orbital motion is influenced by scattering centers and ripple-induced gauge fields. Spin relaxation…

We study the effect of impurities in inducing spin-orbit coupling in graphene. We show that the sp3 distortion induced by an impurity can lead to a large increase in the spin-orbit coupling with a value comparable to the one found in…

We evaluate the spin-orbit and spin-spin interaction between two fermions in strongly coupled gauge theories in their Coulomb phase. We use the quasi-instantaneous character of Coulomb's law at strong coupling to resum a class of ladder…

The spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) of hydrogenated and fluorinated graphenes are calculated from the first principles method. It is found that the SOC-induced band splittings near their Fermi energies can be significantly enhanced to the order…

The so-called spin-orbit proximity effect experimentally realized in graphene (G) on several different heavy metal surfaces opens a new perspective to engineer the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for new generation spintronics devices. Here, via…

Recent experiments indicate that crystalline graphene multilayers exhibit much of the richness of their twisted counterparts, including cascades of symmetry-broken states and unconventional superconductivity. Interfacing Bernal bilayer…

The study of spin-related phenomena in materials requires knowledge on the precise form of effective spin-orbit coupling of conducting carriers in the solid-states systems. We demonstrate theoretically that curvature induced by corrugations…

Recent experimental discovery of flavor symmetry breaking metallic phases in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene points to the strongly interacting nature of electrons near the top (bottom) of its valence (conduction) band. Superconductivity…

We consider theoretically the influence of crystalline fields on the electronic structure of graphene placed on a layered material with reduced symmetry and large spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We use a perturbative procedure combined with the…

In this review, we discuss the physics of spin-orbit coupled quantum gases in optical lattices. After reviewing some relevant experimental techniques, we introduce the basic theoretical model and discuss some of its generic features. In…

Spin-orbit coupling is relatively weak for electrons in bulk silicon, but enhanced interactions are reported in nanostructures such as the quantum dots used for spin qubits. These interactions have been attributed to various dissimilar…

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron-electron interaction can mutually influence each other and give rise to a plethora of intriguing phenomena in condensed matter systems. In pristine bilayer graphene, which has weak SOC, intrinsic…
