Associated with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and inversion symmetry breaking, Rashba spin polarization opens a new avenue for spintronic applications that was previously limited to ordinary magnets. However, spin polarization effects in actual…
We calculate the efficiency of infrared optical spin injection in single-layer graphene with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and for in-plane magnetic field. The injection rate in the photon frequency range corresponding to the Rashba splitting…
It has been recently suggested that the coexistence of ferroelectricity and Rashba-like spin-splitting effects due to spin-orbit coupling in a single material may allow for a non-volatile electric control of spin degrees of freedom. In the…
We studied the electronic structure of PtPb$_{4}$ using laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES) and density functional theory(DFT) calculations. This material is closely related to PtSn$_{4}$, which exhibits exotic…
The Schroedinger equation for a spinless charged particle on a curved surface under an electromagnetic field has been obtained by adopting a proper gauge which allows the separation of the on-surface and transverse dynamics. [Phys. Rev.…
We consider a model for the two-dimensional electron gas formed at the interface of oxide heterostructures, which includes a Rashba spin-orbit coupling proportional to the electric field perpendicular to the interface. Based on the standard…
We report a Rashba spin splitting of a two-dimensional electron gas in the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We further demonstrate its electrostatic control, and show that spin splittings…
MnO thin films with various thicknesses and strains were grown on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition, then characterized using x-ray diffraction and infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Films grown on (001)-oriented MgO substrates…
Mechanical stacking of two dissimilar materials often has surprising consequences for heterostructure behavior. In particular, a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is formed in the heterostructure of the topological crystalline insulator…
Oxide-based two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) have generated significant interest due to their potential for discovering novel physical properties. Among these, 2DEGs formed in KTaO3 stand out due to the recently discovered crystal…
We show that the Rashba effect at the polar perovskite surfaces and interfaces can be tuned by manipulating the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) by an applied electric field, using it to draw the 2DEG out to the surface or push it deeper…
We computed spin wave dispersions of surface-reconstructed Co films on the W(110) surface in the adiabatic approximation. The magnetic exchange interactions are obtained via first-principles electronic structure calculations using the…
The spin-degeneracy of Bloch bands in a crystal can be lifted when spin-orbit (SO) coupling is present and inversion symmetry is absent. In two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) spin-degeneracy is lifted by Rashba interaction terms -…
The surface spin states for bismuth thin films were investigated using an $sp^3$ tight-binding model. The model explains the experimental observations using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, including the Fermi surface, the band…
We have measured the transport spin-polarization of epitaxial thin films of the conductive ferromagnetic oxide, SrRuO3, using Point Contact Andreev Reflection Spectroscopy (PCAR). In spite of the fact that spin-up and spin-down electronic…
In this work, we theoretically study transverse magnetic focusing in a two-dimensional electron gas with strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction when proximitized along its edge with a superconducting contact. The presence of superconducting…
The spin-orbit interaction affects the electronic structure of solids in various ways. Topological insulators are one example where the spin-orbit interaction leads the bulk bands to have a non-trivial topology, observable as gapless…
By varying the orientation of the applied magnetic field with respect to the normal of a two-dimensional electron gas, the chemical potential and the specific heat reveal persistent spin splitting in all field ranges. The corresponding…
Rashba spin-orbit coupling significantly modifies the electronic band structure in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) heterobilayers, which may enhance their thermoelectric (TE) properties. In this study, we use first-principles…
The parallel-magnetic-field $H_\parallel$ dependence of the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ is studied for ultrathin films of In, Bi, and Al grown on GaAs(110). In the case of In films in the monolayer regime, $T_c$ exhibits a…
