Finding stimuli capable of driving an imbalance of spin-polarised electrons within a solid is the central challenge in the development of spintronic devices. However, without the aid of magnetism, routes towards this goal are highly…
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…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can induce spin polarization in nonmagnetic 3D crystals when the inversion symmetry is broken, as manifested by the bulk Rashba (R-1) and Dresselhaus (D-1) effects. We determine that these spin polarization effects…
Methods to generate spin-polarised electronic states in non-magnetic solids are strongly desired to enable all-electrical manipulation of electron spins for new quantum devices. This is generally accepted to require breaking global…
Exploring hidden effects that have been overlooked given the nominal global crystal symmetry but are indeed visible in solid-state materials has been a fascinating subject of research recently. Here, we introduce a novel hidden Zeeman-type…
Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is used to reveal that a large spin polarization is observable in the bulk centrosymmetric transition metal dichalcogenide MoS2. It is found that the measured spin polarization can be…
Hidden spin polarization (HSP) with zero net spin polarization in total but non-zero local spin polarization has been proposed in certain nonmagnetic centrosymmetric compounds, where the individual sectors forming the inversion partners are…
One of the key challenges for spintronic and novel quantum technologies is to achieve active control of the spin angular momentum of electrons in nanoscale materials on ultrafast, femtosecond timescales. While conventional ferromagnetic…
The discovery of hidden spin polarization (HSP) in centrosymmetric nonmagnetic crystals, i.e., spatially distributed spin polarization originated from local symmetry breaking, has promised an expanded material pool for future spintronics.…
Half-metals, featuring ideal 100\% spin polarization, are widely regarded as key materials for spintronic and quantum technologies; however, the half-metallic state is intrinsically fragile, as it relies on a delicate balance of exchange…
The centrosymmetric materials with hidden spin polarization are considered to be the promising candidates for realization of energy efficient spintronics systems and devices. However, the control of hidden spin polarization and resulting…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) combine interesting optical and spintronic properties in an atomically-thin material, where the light polarization can be used to control the spin and valley degrees-of-freedom for the development of…
In many materials, ordered phases and their order parameters are easily characterized by standard experimental methods. "Hidden order" refers to a phase transition in which an ordered state emerges without such an easily detectable order…
We propose, for the first time, that an array of diamond plaquettes, each possessing vanishing net magnetization, can achieve complete spin polarization over a broad bias window. Furthermore, this system can be utilized to realize…
Many textbook physical effects in crystals are enabled by some specific symmetries. In contrast to such "apparent effects", "hidden effect X" refers to the general condition where the nominal global system symmetry would disallow the effect…
Incorporating zero-net-magnetization magnets that exhibit spin-splitting into spintronics delivers key advantages: faster switching dynamics, greater immunity to destabilizing fields, lower power consumption, and markedly improved overall…
Spin-polarized antiferromagnets have recently gained significant interest because they combine the advantages of both ferromagnets (spin polarization) and antiferromagnets (absence of net magnetization) for spintronics applications. In…
Symmetry forbidden effects in crystals may emerge in a local environment that breaks the symmetries. Yet these hidden physical effects were only discussed in centrosymmetric crystals. Here we propose that hidden physical effects can be…
Correlated materials with competing spin-orbit and crystal-field interactions can host composite spin-orbital magnons that are highly susceptible to structural and electronic perturbations, enabling the control of magnetic dynamics beyond…
Hidden spin polarization (HSP) emerges in centrosymmetric crystals where visible spin splittings in the real space can be observed because of the lack of inversion symmetry in each local sector. Starting from tight-binding models, we…
