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 atomic spin-orbit ...

Manipulating the electron spin with the aid of spin–orbit coupling (SOC) is an indispensable element of spintronics. Electrostatically gating a material with strong SOC results in an effective ...

The dependence of the spin-orbit-coupling constant of the six low-lying electronic states of Ar2(+) and Kr2(+) on the internuclear distance R has been calculated ab initio. The spin-orbit-coupling ...

We report on the relevance of spin–orbit coupling on the optical properties of Ru(II)- and Os(II)-polypyridyl dyes effectively employed in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). We include relativistic ...

Introduction: The electronic structure of the HBr molecule was investigated with particular attention to the spin–orbit coupling effect, aiming to assess its suitability for laser cooling applications ...

In nanotechnology, SOC plays a crucial role in the development of spintronics, a technology that utilizes both the electron's charge and spin. This interaction influences the electronic structure of ...

Australian scientists have investigated new directions to scale up qubits - utilising the spin-orbit coupling of atom qubits - adding a new suite of tools to the armory. Spin-orbit coupling, the ...

Abstract: Optical spin-orbit coupling describes how spin angular momentum of light (associated with circular polarisation of an electromagnetic wave) influences a propagation of light beam and its ...

Spin Orbit Coupling (SOC) is introduced to molecular ab initio density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations. In the presented scheme, one first approximates the electronic ground state and ...

Spin-orbit coupling is one of the fundamental effects in quantum physics. It plays a vital role in many basic physic phenomena and exotic quantum states. These phenomena led to the foundation of ...

Abstract: In this work we propose a new perspective in order to unveil the mechanism leading to the spin-orbit de/coupling of light at the nanoscale. Taking into account the factorizability condition ...
