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.…

The Seebeck coefficient, $S=L_{12}/(TL_{11})$, which is proportional to a ratio of the thermoelectric conductivity $L_{12}$ to the electric conductivity $L_{11}$ with $T$ being temperature is examined for two-dimensional Dirac electrons in…

The theoretical understanding of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects at LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ interfaces and SrTiO$_{3}$ surfaces is still in its infancy. We perform first-principles density-functional-theory calculations and derive…

We report the observation of tunable spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for ultracold $^{87}$Rb atoms in hyperfine spin-1 states. Different from most earlier experiments where atomic SOC of pseudo-spin-1/2 are synthesized with Raman coupling lasers,…

We observe spin squeezing in three-component Bose gases where all three hyperfine states are coupled by synthetic spin-orbit coupling. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of spin-orbit coupling, as can be seen clearly from an effective…

Spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional systems is usually characterized by Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling (SOC) linear in the wave vector. However, there is a growing class of materials which instead support dominant SOC cubic…

We employ the multi-orbital dynamical mean-field theory to examine the ground state of a three-orbital Hubbard model with a relativistic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at four electrons per site. We demonstrate that the interplay between the…

Altermagnets, magnetic materials with zero magnetization and spin-split band structure, have gained tremendous attention recently for their rich physics and potential applications. Here, we report on a microscopic tight-binding model that…

We present a combined group-theoretical and tight-binding approach to calculate the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in ABC stacked trilayer graphene. We find that compared to monolayer graphene, a larger set of d orbitals (in particular…

We theoretically study the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) mediated by band electrons with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We first derive a general formula for the coefficient ${\bm D}_i$ of the DMI in free energy in terms of…

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…

With octahedrally coordinated $t_{\rm 2g}$ orbitals which are active at filling $n=2$, the $\rm Sr_2CrO_4$ compound exhibits rich interplay of spin-orbital physics with tetragonal distortion induced crystal field tuning by external agent…

In ruthenate materials, non-Fermi liquid (NFL) phases have been observed. We used the natural orbitals renormalization group (NORG) method as an impurity solver for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) to study a three-orbital…

Altermagnetism is an unconventional form of antiferromagnetism characterized by momentum-dependent spin polarization of electronic states and zero net magnetization, arising from specific crystalline symmetries. In the presence of…

The spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) of hydrogenated and fluorinated graphenes are calculated from the first principles method. It is found that the SOC-induced band splittings near their Fermi energies can be significantly enhanced to the order…

Using density functional theory calculations with spin-orbit coupling (SOC), we report on the temperature-dependent thermodynamical properties of Pb: electrical resistivity, thermal expansion (TE), heat capacity, bulk modulus and its…

Spins of relativistic fermions are related to their orbital degrees of freedom. In order to quantify the effect of hybridization between relativistic and nonrelativistic degrees of freedom on spin-orbit coupling, we focus on the…

We show that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) significantly enhances the depletion of a homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate in three dimensions. With decreasing anisotropy of the SOC, both the quantum and thermal depletion increase. In…

We explore from first-principles calculations the ferroelectric material Pb5Ge3O11 as a model for controlling the spin-orbit interaction (SOC) in crystalline solids. The SOC has a surprisingly strong effect on the structural energy…

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…
