Realization of two-dimensional spin-orbit coupling for Bose-Einstein condensates [PDF]
Science, 2015 Spin-orbit coupling in an optical lattice Studying topological matter in cold-atom systems may bring fresh insights, thanks to the intrinsic purity and controllability of this experimental setting. However, the necessary spin-orbit coupling can be tricky

Spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation effects on phonon anharmonicity of KOs2O6
AIP Advances, 2019 Spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation effects from Os 5d electrons on phonon anharmonicity of β−pyrochlore superconductor KOs2O6 are systematically studied by first-principles frozen-phonon calculations.

Mott insulators in the strong spin-orbit coupling limit: from Heisenberg to a quantum compass and Kitaev models. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We study the magnetic interactions in Mott-Hubbard systems with partially filled t_{2g} levels and with strong spin-orbit coupling. The latter entangles the spin and orbital spaces, and leads to a rich variety of the low energy Hamiltonians that ...

Spin–torque generator engineered by natural oxidation of Cu
Nature Communications, 2016 In thin film spintronic devices, heavy metals with strong spin-orbit coupling are required to achieve a sizeable spin Hall effect. Here, the authors demonstrate an enhancement of the spin Hall effect in Cu, a material with weak spin-orbit coupling, via ...

Dynamical Spin-Orbit Coupling of a Quantum Gas. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2019 We realize the dynamical 1D spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined within an optical cavity. The SOC emerges through spin-correlated momentum impulses delivered to the atoms via Raman transitions. These are effected by classical

Variation of spin–orbit coupling and related properties in skyrmionic system Mn FexGe
New Journal of Physics, 2016 We report a systematic study of the magnetic and magnetotransport properties in skyrmionic compounds Mn ${}_{1-x}$ Fe _x Ge. Helical-spin or skyrmion orders are formed in all the compositions, which allows us to study electron band-filling dependence of ...

Helical edge states and edge-state transport in strained armchair graphene nanoribbons
Scientific Reports, 2017 A helical type edge state, which is generally supported only on graphene with zigzag boundaries, is found to also appear in armchair graphene nanoribbons in the presence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and a suitable strain.

Topological magneto-optical effects and their quantization in noncoplanar antiferromagnets
Nature Communications, 2020 Magneto-optical effects in magnets are commonly attributed to the interplay between exchange splitting and spin-orbit coupling. Here, Feng et al. report a topological magneto-optical effect in non-coplanar antiferromagnets due to finite scalar spin ...
