The persistent spin helix (PSH) is robust against spin-independent scattering and renders an extremely long spin lifetime, which can improve the performance of potential spintronic devices. To achieve the PSH, a unidirectional spin…
Finding a new class of materials supporting a long spin lifetime is essential in development of energy-saving spintronics, which is achievable by using a persistent spin helix (PSH) materials. However, for spintronic devices, the PSH states…
A persistent spin helix (PSH) in spin-orbit-coupled two-dimensional electron systems was recently predicted to exist in two cases: [001] quantum wells (QWs) with equal coupling strengths of the Rashba and the Dresselhaus interactions (RD),…
The Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit (SO) interactions in 2D electron gases act as effective magnetic fields with momentum-dependent directions, which cause spin decay as the spins undergo arbitrary precessions about these…
A persistent spin helix (PSH) is a robust helical spin-density pattern arising in disordered 2D electron gases with Rashba $\alpha$ and Dresselhaus $\beta$ spin-orbit (SO) tuned couplings, i.e., $\alpha=\pm\beta$. Here we investigate the…
The ability to control the spin textures in semiconductors is a fundamental step toward novel spintronic devices, while seeking desirable materials exhibiting persistent spin texture (PST) remains a key challenge. The PST is the property of…
We present a detailed theoretical investigation of persistent spin helices in two-dimensional electron systems with spin-orbit coupling. For this purpose we consider a single-particle effective mass Hamiltonian with generalized linear-in-k…
In layered semiconductors with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) a persistent spin helix (PSH) state with suppressed spin relaxation is expected if the strengths of the Rashba and Dresselhaus SOI terms, alpha and beta, are equal. Here we…
Spin-orbit coupled systems generally break the spin rotation symmetry. However, for a model with equal Rashba and Dresselhauss coupling constant (the ReD model), and for the $[110]$ Dresselhauss model, a new type of SU(2) spin rotation…
Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we investigate the intrinsic spin Hall effect in monolayers of group-VI transition-metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M = Mo, W and X = S, Se). MX2 monolayers are direct band-gap…
Monolayer group-III monochalcogenides (MX, M = Ga, In; X = S, Se, Te), an emerging category of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, hold great promise for electronics, optoelectronics and catalysts. By first-principles calculations, we show…
Monolayer group-IV monochalcogenides (MX, M = Ge, Sn, Pb; X = S, Se, Te) are a family of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials that have atomic structures closely related to that of the staggered black phosphorus lattice. The structure of…
In a semiconductor, collective excitations of spin textures usually decay rather fast due to D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation. The latter arises from spin-orbit coupling, which induces wave-vector-dependent spin rotations that, in…
The spin polarization induced by the spin Hall effect (SHE) in thin films typically points out of the plane. This is rooted on the specific symmetries of traditionally studied systems, not in a fundamental constraint. Recently, experiments…
The theory of spin drift and diffusion in two-dimensional electron gases is developed in terms of a random walk model incorporating Rashba, linear and cubic Dresselhaus, and intersubband spin-orbit couplings. The additional subband degree…
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…
Persistent spin texture (PST), a property of solid-state materials maintaining unidirectional spin polarization in the momentum $k$-space, offers a route to deliver the necessary long carrier spin lifetimes through the persistent spin helix…
The recent discovery of materials hosting persistent spin texture (PST) opens an avenue for the realization of energy-saving spintronics since they support an extraordinarily long spin lifetime. However, the stability of the PST is…
Persistent spin textures (PSTs) in solid-state materials arise from a unidirectional spin-orbit field in momentum space and offer a route to deliver long carrier spin lifetimes sought for future quantum microelectronic devices. Nonetheless,…
Lead and tin chalcogenides have been studied widely due to their promising thermoelectric (TE) properties. Further enhancement in their TE efficiency has been reported upon the reduction of the dimension, which is an important feature in…
