The paper reviews the interplay of Rashba/Dresselhaus spin splittings in various two‐
dimensional systems made of zinc‐blende III–V, wurtzite, and SiGe semiconductors. We …

The Rashba effect in quasi two-dimensional materials, such as noble metal surfaces and
semiconductor heterostructures, has been investigated extensively, while interest in real two …

The spin-galvanic effect and the circular photogalvanic effect induced by terahertz radiation
are applied to determine the relative strengths of Rashba and Dresselhaus band spin …

Abstract In 1984, Bychkov and Rashba introduced a simple form of spin–orbit coupling to
explain the peculiarities of electron spin resonance in two-dimensional semiconductors …

Single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoS2 and MoSe2 exhibit
unique electronic band structures ideal for hosting many exotic spin-orbital orderings. It has …

Surface states, that show a k-dependent splitting resulting from spin–orbit coupling, show
wide similarities to a two-dimensional electron gas in semiconductor heterostructures, where …

The relative strengths of Rashba and Dresselhaus terms describing the spin-orbit coupling
in semiconductor quantum well (QW) structures are extracted from photocurrent …

Spin-relaxation times of two-dimensional electrons in asymmetrical (001) AlGaAs quantum
wells are measured by means of Hanle effect. Three different spin-relaxation times for spins …

Spin relaxation due to the D'yakonov-Perel'mechanism is intimately related with the spin
splitting of the electronic states. We determine the spin relaxation rates from anisotropic spin …

Spintronics is aimed at actively controlling and manipulating the spin degrees of freedom in
semiconductor devices. A promising way to achieve this goal is to make use of the tunable …
