In this review article we describe spin-dependent transport in materials with spin–orbit
interaction of Rashba type. We mainly focus on semiconductor heterostructures, however we …

Single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), with their uniquely simple crystal structures and
chirality‐dependent electronic and vibrational states, provide an ideal laboratory for the …

The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect was recently established experimentally and
theoretically. Here, we review some of the new findings and discuss applications that can …

A continuum model for the effective spin-orbit interaction in graphene is derived from a tight-
binding model which includes the π and σ bands. We analyze the combined effects of the …

Highly spin-selective transport of electrons through a helically shaped electrostatic potential
is demonstrated in the frame of a minimal model approach. The effect is significant even for …

It has recently been recognised that the strong spin-orbit interaction present in solids can
lead to new phenomena, such as materials with non-trivial topological order. Although the …

The indirect exchange interaction between magnetic impurities localized in a graphene
plane is considered theoretically, with the influence of intrinsic spin-orbit interaction taken …

Energy band for single wall carbon nanotubes with spin–orbit interaction is calculated using
non-orthogonal tight-binding method. A Bloch function with spin degree of freedom is …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can provide essential tools to manipulate electron spins in two-
dimensional materials like graphene, which is of great interest for both fundamental physics …

We investigate the effects of Rashba spin-orbit (RSO) interactions on the electronic band
structure and corresponding wave functions of graphene. By exactly solving a tight-binding …
