This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

Spin photocurrents generated by homogeneous optical excitation with circularly polarized
radiation in quantum wells (QWs) are reviewed. The absorption of circularly polarized light …

In quasi two-dimensional electron and hole systems spin-orbit (SO) coupling strongly
influences both the orbital and spin components of motion. In inversion asymmetric systems …

Abstract Theory of electrical spin injection from a ferromagnetic (FM) metal into a normal (N)
conductor is presented. We show that tunnel contacts (T) can dramatically increase spin …

The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect was recently established experimentally and
theoretically. Here, we review some of the new findings and discuss applications that can …

Transition-metal dichalcogenides such as WSe2 and MoS2 have electronic band structures
that are ideal for hosting many exotic spin–orbit phenomena. Here we investigate the …

We report on zero-field spin splitting of two-dimensional electron systems. Though absent in
the unbiased InAs square asymmetric quantum well (SAQW), the Rashba splitting becomes …

In situ control of spin-orbit coupling in coherent transport using a clean G a A s/A l G a A s
two-dimensional electron gas is realized, leading to a gate-tunable crossover from weak …

Highly spin-selective transport of electrons through a helically shaped electrostatic potential
is demonstrated in the frame of a minimal model approach. The effect is significant even for …

We propose a spin-interference device which works even without any ferromagnetic
electrodes and any external magnetic field. The interference can be expected in the …
