Spin-momentum locking as a source of spin-splitting anisotropy in inverted HgTe quantum wells
New Journal of PhysicsWe show theoretically that Rashba spin–orbit coupling in gated heterostructures results in strong anisotropy of electron spin splitting. A simple analytical expression for the splitting energy is derived and shown to be in excellent agreement with ...

Properties of the spin-momentum locked state
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022 Abstract Spin-momentum locking is becoming a cornerstone for the understanding and applications of novel condensed matter systems. Here we assume that it holds locally in position space and from it predict the existence of a local magnetic field.

Universal spin-momentum locked optical forces [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2016 Evanescent electromagnetic waves possess spin-momentum locking, where the direction of propagation (momentum) is locked to the inherent polarization of the wave (transverse spin). We study the optical forces arising from this universal phenomenon and show that the fundamental origin of recently reported non-trivial optical chiral forces is spin ...

Determination of the Spin Axis in Quantum Spin Hall Insulator Candidate Monolayer WTe_{2}
Physical Review X, 2021 Evidence for the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) has been reported in several experimental systems, in the form of edge conductance approaching a quantized value at zero magnetic field.

Tunable spin-valley coupling in layered polar Dirac metals
Communications Materials, 2021 Spin-orbit coupling in non-centrosymmetric crystals gives rise to interesting spin-momentum locking of the Fermi surface. Here, the electronic structure of polar metals BaMnX 2 (X = Bi, Sb) reveals a high sensitivity to X sublattice distortions ...

Universal spin-momentum locking of evanescent waves [PDF]
Optica, 2016 We show the existence of an inherent property of evanescent electromagnetic waves: spin-momentum locking, where the direction of momentum fundamentally locks the polarization of the wave. We trace the ultimate origin of this phenomenon to complex dispersion and causality requirements on evanescent waves.

Spin-Momentum Locking Induced Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Monolayer WTe2 [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2021 Monolayer WTe2 is predicted to be a quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI), and its quantized edge transport has recently been demonstrated. However, one of the essential properties of a QSHI, spin-momentum locking of the helical edge states, has yet to be experimentally validated. Here, we measure and observe gate-controlled anisotropic magnetoresistance (
