Spin Hall effects are a collection of relativistic spin-orbit coupling phenomena in which
electrical currents can generate transverse spin currents and vice versa. Despite being …

Spin-orbit coupling in inversion-asymmetric magnetic crystals and structures has emerged
as a powerful tool to generate complex magnetic textures, interconvert charge and spin …

We show that inversion symmetry breaking together with spin-orbit coupling leads to
coupled spin and valley physics in monolayers of MoS 2 and other group-VI …

Spin currents can apply useful torques in spintronic devices. The spin Hall effect has been
proposed as a source of spin current, but its modest strength has limited its usefulness. We …

This article reviews spintronics based memories, in particular, magnetic random access
memory (MRAM) in a systematic manner. Debuted as a humble 4 Mb product by FreeScale …

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically
connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full …

The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

Ever since its discovery the notion of Berry phase has permeated through all branches of
physics. Over the past three decades it was gradually realized that the Berry phase of the …

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) occurs in solids with broken time-reversal symmetry,
typically in a ferromagnetic phase, as a consequence of spin-orbit coupling. Experimental …

We study the effects of spin orbit interactions on the low energy electronic structure of a
single plane of graphene. We find that in an experimentally accessible low temperature …
