We study the spin transport phenomena in two-dimensional graphene-like materials with arbitrary tilted Dirac cones. The tilt arises due to next-nearest hopping when the bottom of the conduction band and top of the valence band does not…
A method is developed to calculate the electron flow between an atomic monolayer sheet and a tube with use of tunneling matrix elements between monolayer sheets and applied to the spin current from monolayer silicene with…
The semiconducting single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides have been identified as ideal materials for accessing and manipulating spin- and valley-quantum numbers due to a set of favorable optical selection rules in these materials.…
We study the charge and spin currents passing through a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) on the basis of a tight-binding model. The currents are evaluated perturbatively with respect to the tunnel Hamiltonian. The charge current has the form…
In the presence of extrinsic Rashba spin-orbit coupling, we find that silicene can host a new quantum anomalous Hall state with spin- and valley-polarized edge states, which can be effectively controlled by the exchange field and electric…
The Hall conductivity $\sigma_{xy}$ of many condensed matter systems presents a step structure when a uniform perpendicular magnetic field is applied. We report the quantum Hall effect in buckled AB-bottom-top bilayer silicene and its…
Conventional electronics are based invariably on the intrinsic degrees of freedom of an electron, namely, its charge and spin. The exploration of novel electronic degrees of freedom has important implications in both basic quantum physics…
Spin polarization of the tunnel conductivity has been studied for Fe/GaAs junctions with Schottky barriers. It is shown that band matching of resonant interface states within the Schottky barrier defines the sign of spin polarization of…
Valley polarization and altermagnetism are two emerging fundamental phenomena in condensed matter physics, offering unprecedented opportunites for information encoding and processing in novel energy-efficient devices. By coupling valley and…
Valley-polarized currents can be generated by local straining of multi-terminal graphene devices. The pseudo-magnetic field created by the deformation allows electrons from only one valley to transmit and a current of electrons from a…
Theoretical investigations of spin transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions using the tight-binding model in the framework of non-equilibrium Green functions formalism are presented. We show that the behavior of the spin transfer torque…
The control of unconventional magnetism, which displays ferromagnetism-like properties with compensated magnetization, has drawn intense attention for advancing antiferromagnetic spintronics. Here, through symmetry analysis, we propose a…
We study tunneling in ferromagnet/unconventional superconductor (F/S) junctions. We include the effects of spin polarization, interfacial resistance, and Fermi wavevector mismatch (FWM) between the F and S regions. Andreev reflection (AR)…
We discuss valley current, which is carried by quasiparticles in graphene. We show that the valley current arises owing to a peculiar term in the electron-phonon collision integral that mixes the scalar and vector gauge-field-like vertices…
In addition to spin, electrons in many materials possess an additional pseudo-spin degree of freedom known as 'valley'. In materials where the spin and valley degrees of freedom are weakly coupled, they can be both excited and controlled…
Monolayer graphene with an energy gap presents a pseudospin symmetry broken ferromagnet with a perpendicular pseudomagnetization whose direction is switched by altering the type of doping between n and p. We demonstrate an electrical…
We experimentally investigate spin-polarized electron transport between two ferromagnetic contacts, placed at the edge of a two-dimensional electron system with band inversion. The system is realized in a narrow (8~nm) HgTe quantum well,…
Electrons are offered a valley degree of freedom in presence of particular lattice structures. Manipulating valley degeneracy is the subject matter of an emerging field of investigation, mostly focused on charge transport in graphene. In…
Control over quantum systems is typically achieved by time-dependent electric or magnetic fields. Alternatively, electronic spins can be controlled by spin-polarized currents. Here we demonstrate coherent driving of a single spin by a…
The dynamics of a single spin embedded in a the tunnel junction between ferromagnetic contacts is strongly affected by the exchange coupling to the tunneling electrons. Moment reversal of the local spin induced by the bias voltage across…
