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…
Non-magnetic materials without inversion symmetry typically exhibit strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC), enabling the well-known Rashba Edelstein effect where an external electrical current induces transverse spin polarisation. In this…
Materials with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have in recent years become a subject of intense research due to their potential applications in spintronics and quantum information technology. In particular, in systems which break inversion…
We study the interplay of both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) and a uniform perpendicular magnetic field $\textbf{B}$ on the transport of a spin-polarized electron along a curved quantum wire. Eigenenergies and…
We explore the role of interfacial Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for the Josephson diode effect in all-metal diffusive Josephson junctions. Devices with Fe/Pt and Cu/Pt weak links between Nb leads reveal a Josephson diode effect in an…
One of the major strategies to control magnetism in spintronics is to utilize the coupling between electron spin and its orbital motion. The Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings induce magnetic textures of band electrons called spin…
Various multi-spin magnetic exchange interactions (MEI) of chiral nature have been recently unveiled. Owing to their potential impact on the realisation of twisted spin-textures, their implication in spintronics or quantum computing is very…
We use a concerted theory-experiment effort to investigate the formation of chiral real space spin texture when the archetypal Dirac semimetal Cd$_3$As$_2$ is interfaced with In$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As, a ferromagnetic semiconductor with…
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…
Skyrmions are topological spin textures of interest for fundamental science and applications. Previous theoretical studies have focused on systems with broken bulk inversion symmetry, where skyrmions are stabilized by easy-axis anisotropy.…
Two classes of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) mechanisms have been considered as candidate sources for the spin orbit torque (SOT): the spin Hall Effect (SHE) in heavy metals with strong SOC and the Rashba effect arising from broken inversion…
In addition to charge plasmons, a 2D electron system with Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling (SOC) also supports three collective modes in the spin sector: the chiral-spin modes. We study the dispersions of the charge and spin modes and their…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is one of the crucial factors that affect the chiral symmetry of matter by causing the spatial symmetry breaking of the system. We find that Raman-induced SOC can induce a chiral supersolid phase with a helical…
Graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures take advantage of tailoring spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in the graphene layer by proximity effect. At long-wavelength -- saddled by the electronic states near the Dirac points -- the proximitized…
Magnetic textures such as skyrmions in thin films grown on substrates possess significant technological potential. Inhomogeneous magnetic structures can be described as homogeneous ferromagnetic order in the presence of anisotropic…
Chirality has been a property of central importance in chemistry and biology for more than a century, and is now taking on increasing relevance in condensed matter physics. Recently, electrons were found to become spin polarized after…
As nanomagnetic devices scale to smaller sizes, spin-orbit coupling due to the broken structural inversion symmetry at interfaces becomes increasingly important. Here we study interfacial spin-orbit coupling effects in magnetic bilayers…
We use a perturbative approach to study the effects of interfacial spin-orbit coupling in magnetic multilayers by treating the two-dimensional Rashba model in a fully three-dimensional description of electron transport near an interface.…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in noncentrosymmetric materials is the source of incommensurate magnetic structures. In semiconductors, it drives the Rashba spin splitting and spin momentum locking, while in magnetic insulators based on…
Efficient generation and manipulation of spin signals in a given material without invoking external magnetism remain one of the challenges in spintronics. The spin Hall effect (SHE) and Rashba-Edelstein effect (REE) are well-known…
