Due to the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) an electric current flowing in a normal metal or semiconductor can induce a bulk magnetic moment. This effect is known as the Edelstein (EE) or magneto-electric effect. Similarly, in a bulk…

Generating and controlling spin current (SC) are of central interest in spin physics and applications. To date, the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is an established pathway to generate SC through the spin-charge current conversion. We predict…

We study the effects of electrostatic gating on the current-induced phenomena in ultrathin ferromagnet/heavy metal heterostructures. We utilize heterodyne detection and analysis of symmetry with respect to the direction of the magnetic…

Magnetization switching using spin-orbit torque offers a promising route to developing non-volatile memory technologies. The prerequisite, however, is the charge-to-spin current conversion, which has been achieved traditionally by…

Controlling charge-spin current conversion by electric fields is crucial in spintronic devices, which can be realized in diatom ferroelectric semiconductor GeTe where it is established that ferroelectricity can change the spin texture. We…

The interplay between electronic eigenstates, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, combined with fundamental breaking of symmetries is currently one of the most exciting fields of research. Multiferroics such as (GeMn)Te fulfill these…

Germanium Telluride (GeTe), identified as a ferroelectric Rashba semiconductor, is a promising candidate for future electronic devices in computing and memory applications. However, its ferroelectric switching on a microscopic scale remains…

Altermagnets have zero net magnetization yet feature spin-split bands. Here, we investigate how slow lattice vibrations (phonons) influence both the intrinsic and externally induced spin polarizations in two-dimensional $d$-wave…

A normal metallic film sandwiched between two insulators may have strong spin-orbit coupling near the metal-insulator interfaces, even if spin-orbit coupling is negligible in the bulk of the film. In this paper we study two technologically…

We theoretically and computationally demonstrate that static magnetization can be generated under light illumination via nonlinear Edelstein effect (NLEE). NLEE is applicable to semiconductors under both linearly and circularly polarized…

Using a tight-biding model, we elaborate that the previously discovered out-of-plane polarized helical edge spin current caused by Rashba spin-orbit coupling can be attributed to the fact that in a strip geometry, a positive momentum…

The Edelstein effect occurring in systems with broken inversion symmetry generates a spin polarization when an electric field is applied, which is most advantageous in spintronics applications. Unfortunately, it became apparent that this…

Optical control of magnetization is often symmetry-forbidden because electric fields and magnetization transform differently under inversion and time-reversal. However, through even-order nonlinear response, optical excitation can generate…

Spin current plays a central role in spintronics. In particular, finding more efficient ways to generate spin current has been an important issue and studied actively. For example, representative methods of spin current generation include…

In systems with broken inversion symmetry spin-orbit coupling (SOC) yields a Rashba-type spin splitting of electronic states, manifested in a k-dependent splitting of the bands. While most research had previously focused on 2D electron…

Ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors (FERSC) have recently emerged as a promising class of spintronics materials. The peculiar coupling between spin and polar degrees of freedom responsible for several exceptional properties, including…

Spin-orbit coupling is increasingly seen as a rich source of novel phenomena, as shown by the recent excitement around topological insulators and Rashba effects. We here show that the addition of ferroelectric degrees of freedom to a…

Ferroaxial ordering, a spontaneous rotational distortion of the atomic arrangement, brings about a cross-product-type spin-orbit coupling (SOC) manifested as an electric toroidal dipole. We propose the light-induced nonlinear Edelstein…

Chiral materials, similarly to human hands, have distinguishable right-handed and left-handed enantiomers which may behave differently in response to external stimuli. Here, we use for the first time an approach based on the density…

Spin-orbit coupling in systems with broken inversion symmetry gives rise to the Edelstein effect, which is the spin polarization induced by an electric field or current, and the inverse-Edelstein effect (also known as the spin-galvanic…
