Chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is a striking phenomenon in which spin-unpolarized electrons become spin-polarized after traversing a chiral medium. Theoretical studies have shown that spin-orbit coupling, geometric chirality, and…
Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) describes how chiral molecules and materials generate spin polarization even at thermal equilibrium. This observation has challenged established principles of microscopic reversibility and Onsager…
We incorporate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) into effective Kugel-Khomskii models for the $n=1$ and $n=2$ members of the Ruddlesden-Popper series Sr$_{n+1}$Cr$_n$O$_{3n+1}$. These model contain interacting spins 1 and pseudospins 1/2 at each…
We show that tailoring the geometric curvature profile of magnets can be used for bespoke design of an effective non-relativistic spin-orbit coupling, which may be used to control proximity effects if the magnet is coupled to a…
In this work, we performed extensive first-principles simulations of high-harmonic generation in the topological Diract semimetal Na3Bi using a time-dependent density functional theory framework, focusing on the effect of spin-orbit…
Chirality is a fundamental property of great importance in physics, chemistry, and biology, and has recently been found to generate unexpected spin polarization for electrons passing through organic molecules, known as chirality-induced…
The chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect has been confirmed experimentally for a large class of organic molecules. Adequately modeling the effect remains a challenging task, with both phenomenological models and first-principle…
The intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (ISOC) in bilayer graphene is investigated. We find that the largest ISOC between $\pi$ electrons origins from the following hopping processes: a $\pi$ electron hops to $\sigma$ orbits of the other layer…
This study aims to investigate the interplay between chiral-induced spin-orbit coupling along the screw axis and antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling (ASOC) in the normal plane within a chiral crystal, using both general model analysis and…
We present a combined group-theoretical and tight-binding approach to calculate the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in ABC stacked trilayer graphene. We find that compared to monolayer graphene, a larger set of d orbitals (in particular…
Understanding and controlling the transport properties of interacting fermions is a key forefront in quantum physics across a variety of experimental platforms. Motivated by recent experiments in 1D electron channels written on the…
We develop a realistic and analytically tractable model to describe the spin current which arises in a quantum point contact (QPC) with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) upon a small voltage is applied. In the model, the QPC is considered as a…
Motivated by experimental reports on chirality induced spin selectivity, we investigate a minimal model that allows us to calculate the charge and spin conductances through helical molecules analytically. The spin-orbit interaction is…
Spin-orbit coupling in semiconductors relates the spin of an electron to its momentum and provides a pathway for electrically initializing and manipulating electron spins for applications in spintronics and spin-based quantum information…
We introduce a neural-network-based machine learning method to predict the effective spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength in hole quantum dot arrays from standard charge stability diagrams. Specifically, we study a $2\times 2$ Ge hole quantum…
Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) generates spin-polarized currents in nonmagnetic materials from structural chirality alone, yet its microscopic origin remains debated. Using a first-principles spatiotemporal density-matrix…
Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) refers to an ability to induce a spin polarization of an electron transmitted through chiral materials. An important experimental observation is that incredibly large spin polarization is realized…
The helical distribution of the electronic density in chiral molecules, such as DNA and bacteriorhodopsin, has been suggested to induce a spin-orbit coupling interaction that may lead to the so-called chirality-induced spin selectivity…
Current-induced spin polarization (CISP) is rederived in ballistic spin-orbit-coupled electron systems, based on equilibrium statistical mechanics. A simple and useful picture is correspondingly proposed to help understand the CISP and…
