The observation of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) in biological molecules still awaits a full theoretical explanation. In a recent Rapid Communication, Varela et al. [Phys. Rev. B 101, 241410(R) (2020)] presented a model for…

Here, we study diffusive spin transport in two dimensions and demonstrate that an intrinsic analog to a previously predicted extrinsic spin swapping effect, where the spin polarization and the direction of flow are interchanged due to…

We show how a spin polarization can be generated through the photo-induced electron transfer of an achiral donor-acceptor complex following chiral light excitation. In particular, we illustrate the basic energetic and symmetry requirements…

Recent experiments have demonstrated the efficacy of chiral helically shaped molecules in polarizing the scattered electron spin, an effect termed as chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS). Here we solve a simple tight-binding model for…

We study an effective one-dimensional quantum model that includes friction and spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and show that the model exhibits spin polarization when both terms are finite. Most important, strong spin polarization can be…

Spin selective transport is usually associated with spin-orbit interactions. However, these interactions are invariant under time-reversal symmetry, and the Onsager relations and Bardarson's theorem imply that such interactions cannot yield…

The Rashba effect is one of the most striking manifestations of spin-orbit coupling in solids, and provides a cornerstone for the burgeoning field of semiconductor spintronics. It is typically assumed to manifest as a momentum-dependent…

The generally accepted view that spin polarization is induced by the asymmetry of the global crystal space group has limited the search for spintronics [1] materials to non-centrosymmetric materials. Recently it has been suggested that spin…

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…

Chirality has been a property of central importance in chemistry and biology for more than a century, and is now taking on increasing relevance in condensed matter physics. Recently, electrons were found to become spin polarized after…

Based on spin-charge coupled drift-diffusion equations, which are derived from kinetic equations for the spin-density matrix in a rigorous manner, the electric-field-induced nonequilibrium spin polarization is treated for a two-dimensional…

Spintronic devices typically employ heterostructures with ferromagnets which break time-reversal symmetry and have non-vanishing magnetization. With the growing class of materials that support spin-polarized carriers, current, and…

We show that electrons recolliding with the ionic core upon tunnel ionization of noble gas atoms driven by a strong circularly polarized laser field in combination with a counter-rotating second harmonic are spin polarized and that their…

Spin-dependent partial conductances are evaluated in a tight-binding description of electron transport in the presence of spin-orbit (SO) couplings, using transfer-matrix methods. As the magnitude of SO interactions increases, the…

We investigate the electron transport through a two-dimensional semiconductor with a nonuniform Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Due to the combination of the coherence effect and the Rashba interaction, a spontaneous spin-polarized current…

Spin-polarized electron transport driven by inhomogeneous magnetic dynamics is discussed in the limit of a large exchange coupling. Electron spins rigidly following the time-dependent magnetic profile experience spin-dependent fictitious…

The spin precession in a cylindrical semiconductor nanowire due to Rashba spin-orbit coupling has been investigated theoretically using an InAs nanowire containing a surface two-dimensional electron gas as a model. The eigenstates,…

Te is a naturally p-doped semiconductor with a chiral structure, where an electrical current causes the conduction electrons to become spin polarized parallel to the transport direction. In this paper, we present a comprehensive theoretical…

In this work we manifest that an electrostatic disorder in conducting systems with broken time reversal symmetry universally leads to a chiral ordering of the electron gas giving rise to skyrmion-like textures in spatial distribution of the…

The observation of spin-dependent transport through organic chiral structures has sparked numerous fundamental and applicative questions ranging from biology to spintronics. By now, there is a broad consensus that the effect results from…
