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 …

High-volume information-processing and communications devices are at present based on
semiconductor devices, whereas information-storage devices rely on multilayers of magnetic …

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 …

Spin transistors are a new concept device that unites an ordinary transistor with the useful
functions of a spin (magnetoresistive) device. They are expected to be a building block for …

Excitons—bound electron-hole pairs—play a central role in light-matter interaction
phenomena and are crucial for wide-ranging applications from light harvesting and …

The spin–orbit interaction plays a crucial role in diverse fields of condensed matter,
including the investigation of Majorana fermions, topological insulators, quantum information …

We review the current hopes for applications of exciton–polaritons in semiconductor
microcavities. These quasi-particles have become distinguished in recent years for a variety …

Since the formulation of the geometric phase by Berry, its relevance has been demonstrated
in a large variety of physical systems. However, a geometric phase of the most fundamental …

We have developed a new fabrication method for a ring structure of assembled
nanoparticles on a gold surface by the use of continuous Nd: YAG laser light. A …

In this work, we propose a CPT-even and Lorentz-violating dimension-five nonminimal
coupling between fermionic and gauge fields, involving the CPT-even and Lorentz-violating …
