Rashba effect describes how electrons moving in an electric field experience a momentum dependent magnetic field that couples to the electron angular momentum (spin). This physical phenomenon permits the generation of spin polarization from…
Exploiting inversion symmetry breaking (ISB) in systems with strong spin-orbit coupling promises control of spin through electric fields - crucial to achieve miniaturization in spintronic devices. Delivering on this promise requires a…
In a ferromagnetic heterostructure, the interplay between a Rashba spin-orbit coupling and an exchange field gives rise to a current-driven spin torque. In a realistic device setup, we investigate the Rashba spin torque in the diffusive…
Motivated by recent discovery of strongly spin-orbit coupled two-dimensional (2D) electron gas near the surface of Rashba semiconductors BiTeX (X=Cl, Br, I), we calculate thermoelectric responses of spin polarization in 2D Rashba model…
We consider a single-level quantum dot coupled to two leads which are ferromagnetic in general. Apart from tunneling processes conserving electron spin, we also include processes associated with spin-flip of tunneling electrons, which…
The manipulation of the Rashba spin-splitting is crucial for the development of nanospintronic technology. Here, it is proposed that the Rashba spin-splitting can be turned on and off by reversing electric-field direction. By the…
We examine a spin torque induced by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in three dimensions within the Boltzmann transport theory. We analytically calculate the spin torque and show how its behavior is related with the spin topology in the Fermi…
We use spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES) combined with polarization-variable laser and investigate the spin-orbit coupling effect under interband hybridization of Rashba spin-split states for the surface alloys…
We theoretically demonstrate that a rotating electric-field component of circularly polarized microwave or terahertz light can induce electron-spin polarization within a few picoseconds in a two-dimensional electron system with the Rashba…
We examine spin-dependent displacement of a single electron, resulting in separation and relocation of the electron wavefunction components, and thus charge parts, corresponding to opposite spins. This separation is induced by a pulse of an…
We investigate the transport properties of a graphene layer in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Quite generally, spin-orbit interactions induce spin splittings and modifications of the graphene bandstructure. We calculate…
Strong spin-orbit coupling can have a profound effect on the electronic structure in a metal or semiconductor, particularly for low electron concentrations. We show how, for small values of the Fermi energy compared to the spin-orbit…
We calculate the superconducting $T_c$ for a system which experiences Rashba spin-orbit interactions. Contrary to the usual case where the electron-electron interaction is assumed to be wave vector-independent, where superconductivity is…
We present both theory and numerical-computation results for the transmission and reflection probability currents of a charged particle across a potential step in the presence of a Rashba spin-orbit interaction. By varying kinetic energy…
Using the charge-conserving Floquet-Green function approach to open quantum systems driven by external time periodic potential, we analyze how spin current pumped (in the absence of any dc bias voltage) by the precessing magnetization of a…
We investigate theoretically the efficiency of the Rashba effect, i.e. the spin splitting resulting from an electric field. This is the mechanism behind the Datta-Das spin transistor. In the research efforts so far the carriers have usually…
The functional renormalization group (RG) in combination with Fermi surface patching is a well-established method for studying Fermi liquid instabilities of correlated electron systems. In this article, we further develop this method and…
Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in low-dimensional systems results in the fascinating property of spin-momentum locking. In a Rashba system the inversion symmetry normal to the plane of a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas is broken, generating…
The Rashba effect is one of the most striking manifestations of spin-orbit coupling in solids, and provides a cornerstone for the burgeoning field of semiconductor spintronics. It is typically assumed to manifest as a momentum-dependent…
In magnetic heterostructures with broken inversion symmetry, the Rashba effect gives rise to a gradient-free interaction between magnons and phonons, which we term interfacial spin-lattice coupling. Here, we investigate the dynamic…
