We investigate the effects of spin-orbit coupling on the optical response of materials. In particular, we study the effects of the commutator between the spin-orbit coupling part of the potential and the position operator on the optical…
Spin-orbit coupling in crystals is known to lead to unusual direction dependent exchange interactions, however understanding of the consequeces of such effects in molecular crystals is incomplete. Here we perform four component relativistic…
One of the main characteristics of the new family of two-dimensional crystals of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) is the strong spin-orbit interaction, which makes them very promising for future applications in…
We perform a systematic exact diagonalization study of spin-orbit coupling effects for stationary few-electron states confined in quasi two-dimensional double quantum dots. We describe the spin-orbit-interaction induced coupling between…
We extend a tight-binding method to include the effects of spin-orbit coupling, and apply it to the study of the electronic properties of the actinide elements Th, U, and Pu. These tight-binding parameters are determined for the fcc crystal…
We examine the effects of spin-orbit and spin-spin coupling on the inspiral of a coalescing binary system of spinning compact objects and on the gravitational radiation emitted therefrom. Using a formalism developed by Blanchet, Damour, and…
We present the first quantum molecular dynamics calculation of zero-pressure isobar of solid and liquid uranium that account for spin-orbit coupling. We demonstrate that inclusion of spin-orbit interaction leads to higher degree of the…
We consider spin-orbit coupling effects in Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$, a material in which Ir$^{4+}$ spins form an hyper-kagom\'{e} lattice, a three-dimensional network of corner-sharing triangles. We argue that both low temperature thermodynamic…
We discuss phenomena arising from the combined influence of electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling, with an emphasis on emergent quantum phases and transitions in heavy transition metal compounds with 4d and 5d elements. A common…
Several realistic spin-orbital models for transition metal oxides go beyond the classical expectations and could be understood only by employing the quantum entanglement. Experiments on these materials confirm that spin-orbital entanglement…
We study how spin and orbital effects influence the capability of promoting Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction by studying the two magnetic polar materials, Cu(IO3)2 (S = 1/2 with orbital contribution) and Mn(IO3)2 (S = 5/2 with…
The effect of the spin-orbit coupling in heavy ion collisions is investigated based on an updated version of the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) model, in which the Skyrme potential energy density functional is…
The spin-orbit interaction can cause a nonvanishing density of states (DOS) within the minority-spin band gap of half-metals around the Fermi level. We examine the magnitude of the effect in Heusler alloys, zinc-blende half metals and…
Spin-orbit interactions lead to small energy gaps between the outer-most $p_{1/2}$ and $p_{3/2}$ shells of noble gas atoms. Strong-field pulses tunnel-ionize an electron out of either shell resulting in spin-orbit-driven hole motion. These…
We present a theoretical study of diluted magnetic semiconductors that treats the local sp-d exchange interaction J between the itinerant carriers and the Mn d electrons within a realistic band structure and goes beyond previous mean-field…
Recent measurements on MgV$_2$O$_4$ single crystal have reignited the debate on the role of spin-orbit (SO) coupling in dictating the orbital order in Vanadium spinel systems. Density functional theory calculations were performed using the…
The concept of the entanglement between spin and orbital degrees of freedom plays a crucial role in understanding various phases and exotic ground states in a broad class of materials, including orbitally ordered materials and spin liquids.…
We develop an effective tight-binding Hamiltonian for spin-orbit (SO) interaction in bent carbon nanotubes (CNT) for the electrons forming the $\pi$ bonds between the nearest neighbor atoms. We account for the bend of the CNT and the…
We present a new model for the study of spin-orbit coupling in interacting quasi-one-dimensional systems and solve it exactly to find the spectral properties of such systems. We show that the combination of spin-orbit coupling and…
We review interaction effects in chaotic metallic nanoparticles. Their single-particle Hamiltonian is described by the proper random-matrix ensemble while the dominant interaction terms are invariants under a change of the single-particle…
