The spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect has been known to be profound in monolayer pristine transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Here we show that point defects, which are omnipresent in the TMD membranes, exhibit even stronger SOC effects…
The spin splitting driven by spin-orbit coupling in monolayer (ML) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) family has been widely studied only for the 1H-phase structure, while it is not profound for the 1T-phase structure due to the…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a relativistic effect, where an electron moving in an electric field experiences an effective magnetic field in its rest frame. In crystals without inversion symmetry, it lifts the spin degeneracy and leads to…
We study the conduction band spin splitting that arises in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductor monolayers such as MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$ and WSe$_2$ due to the combination of spin-orbit coupling and lack of inversion…
In condensed-matter physics spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a fundamental physical interaction, which describes how the electrons' spin couples to their orbital motion. It is the source of a vast variety of fascinating phenomena in solids such…
Spin-orbit (SO) coupling can be introduced in a Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) as a gauge potential acting only in a localized spatial domain. Effect of such a SO "defect" can be understood by transforming the system to the integrable…
The electronic structures and thermoelectric properties of semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers $\mathrm{MX_2}$ (M=Zr, Hf, Mo, W and Pt; X=S, Se and Te) are investigated by combining first-principles and Boltzmann…
Monolayer PtSe$_2$ is a semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide characterized by an indirect band gap, space inversion symmetry, and high carrier mobility. Strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and the possibility to induce extrinsic…
e have calculated the spin-orbit (SO) splitting $\Delta_{SO}=\epsilon (\Gamma_{8v}) - \epsilon (\Gamma_{7v})$ for all diamond-like group IV and zinc-blende group III-V, II-VI, and I-VII semiconductors using the full potential linearized…
In most existing theories for iron-based superconductors, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has been assumed insignificant. Even though recent experiments have revealed an influence of SOC on the electronic band structure, whether SOC fundamentally…
Using first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, we investigate the 4/3-monolayer structure of Pb on the Si(111) or Ge(111) surface within the two competing structural models termed the H$_3$ and T$_4$ structures. We…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) lifts molecular orbital degeneracy, enabling bi-level electronic platforms suitable for next-generation digital devices. However, common light-atom molecular feedstocks exhibit weak SOC due to the absence of heavy…
Spin splitting underpins a vast range of spin-dependent phenomena. Traditionally, two primary mechanisms generate such splitting: relativistic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and nonrelativistic magnetic exchange coupling (MEC). Governed by…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the core of numerous condensed-matter phenomena such as nontrivial band gap, magnetocrystalline anisotropy, etc, is generally considered to be appreciable only in heavy elements, detrimental to the synthetization…
Recently, a series of noncentrosymmetric superconductors has been a subject of considerable interest since the discovery of superconductivity in CePt_3Si. In noncentrosymmetric materials, the degeneracy of bands is lifted in the presence of…
We report on the influence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in the Fe-based superconductors (FeSCs) via application of circularly-polarized spin and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We combine this technique in representative members…
Spin splitting, or removal of spin degeneracy in the electronic energy band/level is often a measure of spin-orbit coupling strength and a way to manipulate spin degrees of freedom. We use first-principles simulations to predict giant spin…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) leads to splitting of otherwise spin-degenerate bands in noncentrosymmetric materials, even if time-reversal symmetry is present. While this gives rise to well-known phenomena such as the Rashba and Dresselhaus…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a fundamental interaction in solids which can induce a broad spectrum of unusual physical properties from topologically non-trivial insulating states to unconventional pairing in superconductors. In iron-based…
The search for one-dimensional electron systems with a giant Rashba-type spin splitting is of importance for the application of spin transport. Here we report, based on a first-principles density-functional-theory calculation, that Bi…
