Quantum transport in Rashba spin–orbit materials: a review

D Bercioux, P Lucignano - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Two-dimensional electron gas with spin–orbit coupling disorder

MM Glazov, EY Sherman, VK Dugaev - Physica E: Low-dimensional …, 2010 - Elsevier
A review of physical processes related to disorder in spin–orbit coupling in two-dimensional
electron gas is presented. We begin with the analysis of the sources of the randomness in …

Theory of current-induced spin polarization in an electron gas

C Gorini, A Maleki Sheikhabadi, K Shen, IV Tokatly… - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We derive the Bloch equations for the spin dynamics of a two-dimensional electron gas in
the presence of spin-orbit coupling. For the latter we consider both the intrinsic mechanisms …

Gauge theory approach for diffusive and precessional spin dynamics in a two-dimensional electron gas

IV Tokatly, EY Sherman - Annals of Physics, 2010 - Elsevier
We develop a gauge theory for diffusive and precessional spin dynamics in a two-
dimensional electron gas. Our approach reveals a direct connection between the absence of …

Duality of the spin and density dynamics for two-dimensional electrons with a spin-orbit coupling

We study spin dynamics in a two-dimensional electron gas with a pure gauge non-Abelian
spin-orbit field, for which systems with balanced Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit …

Robust impurity-scattering spin Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas

VK Dugaev, M Inglot, EY Sherman, J Barnaś - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2010 - APS
We propose a mechanism of spin Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gas with spatially
random Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The calculations based on the Kubo formalism and …

Tuning the spin Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas

R Raimondi, P Schwab - Europhysics Letters, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide a theoretical framework for the electric field control of the electron spin in
systems with diffusive electron motion. The approach is valid in the experimentally important …

Intrinsic spin torque without spin-orbit coupling

KW Kim, KJ Lee, HW Lee, MD Stiles - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We derive an intrinsic contribution to the nonadiabatic spin torque for nonuniform magnetic
textures. It differs from previously considered contributions in several ways and can be the …
