Unconventional transport in low-density two-dimensional Rashba systems

J Hutchinson, J Maciejko - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Rashba spin-orbit coupling appears in 2D systems lacking inversion symmetry, and causes
the spin-splitting of otherwise degenerate energy bands into an upper and lower helicity …

Universality of low-energy Rashba scattering

J Hutchinson, J Maciejko - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We investigate the scattering of a quantum particle with a two-dimensional (2D) Rashba spin-
orbit coupled dispersion off of circularly symmetric potentials. As the energy of the particle …

Transport and Superconductivity in Spin-Orbit Coupled Electron Systems

JG Hutchinson - 2019 - era.library.ualberta.ca
This thesis provides a theoretical discussion of several new phenomena associated with
spin-orbit coupling in systems that lack inversion symmetry. Chapter 1 gives an introduction …
