Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

We propose a spin-field-effect transistor based on spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba
and the Dresselhaus types. Different from earlier proposals, spin transport through our …

We report on a general theory for analyzing quantum transport through devices in the metal-
QD-metal configuration where QD is a quantum dot or the device-scattering region which …

Nodal noncentrosymmetric superconductors have topologically nontrivial properties
manifested by protected zero-energy surface states. Specifically, it was recently found that …

We find that in order to completely describe the spin transport, apart from spin current (or
linear spin current), one has to introduce the angular spin current. The two spin currents …

The momentum‐dependent splitting of spin‐bands in an electronic system is known as the
“Rashba effect.” Systems with the Rashba effect possess a Dirac point in momentum space …

We study the effect of spin-orbit interaction and in-plane effective magnetic field on the
conductance of a quasi-one-dimensional ballistic electron system. The effective magnetic …

Orbital current, defined as the orbital character of Bloch states in solids, can travel with larger
coherence length through a broader range of materials than its spin counterpart, facilitating …

We propose to use the lateral interface between two regions with different strengths of the
spin-orbit interaction (s) to spin polarize the electrons in gated two-dimensional …

We investigate electron interferometry of edge states in topological insulators. We show that
when interboundary coupling is induced at two quantum point contacts of a four terminal …
