Spin-charge conversion in InSe bilayers

M Zhou, D Zhang, S Yu, Z Huang, Y Chen, W Yang… - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We find that the bilayer InSe possesses an intrinsic Rashba spin-orbit coupling and hence a
spin-charge conversion effect due to the breaking of mirror symmetry. The interplay between …
