Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …

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 …

Spintronics refers commonly to phenomena in which the spin of electrons in a solid state
environment plays the determining role. In a more narrow sense spintronics is an emerging …

According to Noether's theorem, for every symmetry in nature there is a corresponding
conservation law. For example, invariance with respect to spatial translation corresponds to …

This paper summarises the theory and functionality behind Questaal, an open-source suite
of codes for calculating the electronic structure and related properties of materials from first …

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 …

The Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit (SO) interactions in 2D electron gases act as
effective magnetic fields with momentum-dependent directions, which cause spin decay as …

We employ first-principles techniques tailored to properly describe semiconductors
(semilocal exchange potential added to the exchange-correlation functional), to obtain the …

We theoretically study the profile of a supercurrent in two-dimensional Josephson junctions
with Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction (RDSOI) in the presence of a Zeeman field …

Direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to high-value chemicals or fuels would provide
new energy sources and environmental remediation. The conversion process however …
