Device concepts in semiconductor spintronics make long spin lifetimes desirable, and the requirements put on spin control by schemes of quantum information processing are even more demanding. Unfortunately, due to spin-orbit coupling…
Finding stimuli capable of driving an imbalance of spin-polarised electrons within a solid is the central challenge in the development of spintronic devices. However, without the aid of magnetism, routes towards this goal are highly…
Crystallographic space group symmetry (CPGS) such as polar and nonpolar crystal classes have long been known to classify compounds that have spin-orbit-induced spin splitting. While taking a journey through the Brillouin Zone (BZ) from one…
Persistent spin textures with collinear spin polarization are promising platforms for spintronics applications. However, their typically relativistic spin-orbit origin leads to weak spin splittings and fragile spin coherence. Here, we…
Spin textures, i.e., the distribution of spin polarization vectors in reciprocal space, exhibit diverse patterns determined by symmetry constraints, resulting in a variety of spintronic phenomena. Here, we propose a universal theory to…
Energy-saving spintronics are believed to be implementable on the systems hosting persistent spin helix (PSH) since they support an extraordinarily long spin lifetime of carriers. However, achieving the PSH requires a unidirectional spin…
Hybrid organic--inorganic perovskites with broken inversion symmetry provide a fertile ground for uncovering coupled spin-orbit and ferroelectric phenomena. Here, we investigate the layered family (PA)$_2$CsY$_2$X$_7$ (Y = Pb, Sn; X = I,…
Symmetry forbidden effects in crystals may emerge in a local environment that breaks the symmetries. Yet these hidden physical effects were only discussed in centrosymmetric crystals. Here we propose that hidden physical effects can be…
The spin splitting driven by spin-orbit coupling in monolayer (ML) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) family has been widely studied only for the 1H-phase structure, while it is not profound for the 1T-phase structure due to the…
Ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors (FERSC) are a novel class of multifunctional materials showing a giant Rashba spin splitting which can be reversed by switching the electric polarization. Although they are excellent candidates as…
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of spin supersolids in frustrated quantum magnets, establishing a material-based platform for supersolidity beyond its original context in solid helium. A spin supersolid is characterized by the…
We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by non-polar chiral point groups ($D_2$, $D_3$, $D_4$, $D_6$, $T$, $O$). Based on the symmetry…
Crystal defects can confine isolated electronic spins and are promising candidates for solid-state quantum information. Alongside research focusing on nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond, an alternative strategy seeks to identify new spin…
For over a century, the structure of materials has been described by a combination of rotations, rotation-inversions and translational symmetries. By recognizing the reversal of static structural rotations between clockwise and…
Two-dimensional tungsten-based transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), $MX_{2}$ ($M$: W, Mo; $X$: S, Se, Te) monolayers (MLs) with a $1T'$ structure, serve as significant-gap quantum spin Hall insulators. However, due to the…
Studies of structure-property relationships in spintronics are essential for the design of materials that can fill specific roles in devices. For example, materials with low symmetry allow unconventional configurations of charge-to-spin…
Strain is powerful for discovery and manipulation of new phases of matter; however, the elastic strains accessible to epitaxial films and bulk crystals are typically limited to small ($<2\%$), uniform, and often discrete values. This…
Materials with interesting physical properties are often designed based on our understanding of the target physical effects. The physical properties can be either explicitly observed ("apparent") or concealed by the perceived symmetry…
Due to their particle-like properties, three-dimensional (3D) spin textures have garnered significant interest, particularly for their potential applications in next-generation information storage devices. However, efficiently identifying…
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…
