Chirality or handedness distinguishes an object from its mirror images, such as the spread
thumb, index finger, and middle finger of the right and left hand. In mathematics, it is …

A broken interfacial inversion symmetry in ultrathin ferromagnet/heavy metal (FM/HM)
bilayers is generally believed to be a prerequisite for accommodating the Dzyaloshinskii …

This theoretical Perspective reviews spin–orbit coupling (SOC), including the Rashba effect
and Dresselhaus effect, in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. We first introduce the …

Due to unprecedented application prospects such as high-density and low-power multistate
