We systematically explore a pathway for generating nonlinear charge and spin photocurrents using spin-orbit-split surface states. This mechanism enables net charge and spin flow along the surface plane even in centrosymmetric bulk…

In a ferromagnetic metal layer, the coupled charge and spin diffusion equations are obtained in the presence of both Rashba spin-orbit interaction and magnetism. The mis-alignment between the magnetization and the non-equilibrium spin…

Spin-orbit interactions in two-dimensional electron liquids are responsible for many interesting transport phenomena in which particle currents are converted to spin polarizations and spin currents and viceversa. Prime examples are the spin…

We study the edge states in a two dimensional electron gas with a transverse magnetic field and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In the bulk, the interplay between the external field perpendicular to the gas plane and the spin-orbit coupling…

We present a phenomenological theory of spin-orbit torques in a metallic ferromagnet with spin-relaxing boundaries. The model is rooted in the coupled diffusion of charge and spin in the bulk of the ferromagnet, where we account for the…

The well-known experimentally observed \textit{sp}-derived Au(111) Shockley surface states with Rashba spin splitting are perfectly fit by an effective tight-binding model, considering a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice with…

We report a study of disordered electron systems with spin-orbit coupling on a cylinder using methods of random matrix ensembles. With a threading flux turned on, the single particle levels will generally avoid, rather than cross, each…

Transport by helical edge states of a quantum spin Hall insulator is experimentally characterized by a weakly temperature-dependent mean free path of a few microns and by reproducible conductance oscillations, challenging proposed…

Based on quantum-kinetic equations, coupled spin-charge drift-diffusion equations are derived for a two-dimensional electron gas on a cylindrical surface. Besides the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction, the elastic scattering on…

Conventional transport theory focuses on either the diffusive or ballistic regimes and neglects the crossover region between the two. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling, the transport equations are known only in the diffusive regime,…

We consider a mesoscopic {\it ballistic} structure with Rashba spin-orbit splitting of the electron spectrum. The ballistic region is attached to the leads with a voltage applied between them. We calculate the edge spin density which…

We investigate the spin diffusion and transport in a graphene monolayer on SiO$_2$ substrate by means of the microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. The substrate causes a strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling field $\sim 0.15$ meV,…

We present a methodology to address, from first principles, charge-spin interconversion in two-dimensional materials with spin-orbit coupling. Our study relies on an implementation of density functional theory based quantum transport…

We have described the electron spin dynamics in the presence of Rashba spin- orbit interaction and disorder using the spin-density matrix method. We showed that in the Born approximation in the scattering amplitude the spin current is zero…

We propose an analytic model to study intrinsic spin polarization effect in a ballistic Rashba bar with two semi-infinite leads. The wave functions expanded with plane waves in Rashba bar are required to satisfy boundary conditions at both…

We present and verify experimentally a universal theoretical framework for the description of spin-charge interconversion in non-magnetic metal/insulator structures with interfacial spin-orbit coupling (ISOC). Our formulation is based on…

We study a one-dimensional helical system with random Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Using renor- malization group methods, we derive a consistent set of flow equations governing the important con- trol parameters of the backscattering…

Similar to the Landauer electric dipole created around an impurity by the electric current, a spin polarized cloud of electrons can be induced by the intrinsic spin-Hall effect near a spin independent elastic scatterer. It is shown that in…

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…

Based on a rigorous quantum-kinetic approach, spin-charge coupled drift-diffusion equations are derived for a strongly confined two-dimensional hole gas. An electric field leads to a coupling between the spin and charge degrees of freedom.…
