2D magnetic semiconductor CrSBr exhibits unique magneto-optical properties, yet its electronic structure and photophysical mechanisms remain unclear at high magnetic field and low temperature. Through comprehensive spectroscopic…
Hidden Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-splittings in centrosymmetric crystals with subunits (sectors) having non-centrosymmetric symmetries (the R-2 and D-2 effects) have been predicted and observed experimentally, but the microscopic mechanism…
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures consisting of bilayer graphene (BLG) encapsulated within monolayers of strong spin-orbit semiconductor WS$_2$ or ferromagnetic semiconductor Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$ (CGT), are investigated. By performing…
Controlling the crystal structure is a powerful approach for manipulating the fundamental properties of solids. Unique to two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials, the control can be achieved by modifying the stacking order through…
The presence of both inversion ($P$) and time-reversal ($T$) symmetries in solids leads to a well-known double degeneracy of the electronic bands (Kramers degeneracy). When the degeneracy is lifted, spin textures can be directly observed in…
Hole-doped high-temperature cuprate superconductors below optimum doping have small electron-like Fermi surfaces occupying a small fraction of the Brillouin zone. There is strong evidence that this is linked to charge density wave (CDW)…
We investigate the 1/3 monolayer $\alpha$-Pb/Si(111) surface by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and fully relativistic first-principles calculations. We study both the high-temperature $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$ and low-temperature…
Changes in the spin configuration of atomically-thin, magnetic van-der-Waals multilayers can cause drastic modifications in their opto-electronic properties. Conversely, the opto-electronic response of these systems provides information…
Exploring new parameter regimes to realize and control novel phases of matter has been a main theme in modern condensed matter physics research. The recent discovery of 2D magnetism in nearly freestanding monolayer atomic crystals has…
A monolayer of CrI$_3$ is a two-dimensional crystal that in its equilibrium configuration is a ferromagnetic semiconductor, however, two coupled layers can be ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic depending on the stacking. We study the…
Spin waves in antiferromagnetic materials have great potential for next-generation magnonic technologies. However, their properties and their dependence on the type of ground-state antiferromagnetic structure are still open questions. Here,…
We present a comprehensive investigation into the atomic and electronic structures of a single-layer Sb(110) rhombohedral crystal formed on an Au(111) substrate. Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)…
As an emerging magnetic phase, altermagnets (AMs) with collinear compensated magnetism in real space and alternating spin splitting in the band structure have attracted widespread attention. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we…
The Bi/Ag(111), Pb/Ag(111), and Sb/Ag(111) surface alloys exhibit a two-dimensional band structure with a strongly enhanced Rashba-type spin-splitting, which is in part attributed to the structural asymmetry resulting from an outward…
The magnetic spectrum at high-energies in heavily underdoped YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6.35}$ (T$_{c}$=18 K) has been determined throughout the Brillouin zone. At low-energy the scattering forms a cone of spin excitations emanating from the…
Harnessing the interplay of symmetry breaking and spin-orbit coupling, we investigate Rashba spin splitting in buckled honeycomb (SrHfO$_3$)$_2$/(LaAlO$_3$)$_4$(111) superlattices using density functional theory (DFT) calculations with a…
Twisting in bilayers introduces structural chirality with two enantiomers, i.e., left- and right-hand bilayers, depending on the oriented twist angle. The interplay between this global chirality and additional degrees of freedom, such as…
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…
Proximity-induced fine features and spin-textures of the electronic bands in graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures can be explored from the point of tailoring a twist angle. Here we study spin-orbit coupling and exchange coupling…
