Field-induced ultrafast modulation of Rashba coupling at room temperature in ferroelectric alpha-GeTe(111)

Rashba materials have appeared as an ideal playground for spin-to-charge conversion in prototype spintronics devices. Among them, alpha-GeTe(111) is a non-centrosymmetric ferroelectric semiconductor for which a strong spin-orbit interaction gives rise to g ...

Precise determination of the low-energy electronuclear Hamiltonian of LiY1-xHoxF4

Sandrine Gerber, Gabriel Aeppli, Michael Müller

The insulating rare-earth magnet LiY1-xHoxF4 has received great attention because a laboratory field applied perpendicular to its crystallographic c axis converts the low-energy electronic spin Hamiltonian into the (dilute) transverse field Ising model. Th ...

Atomic layer deposition of Ni and Ni80Fe20 for tubular spin-wave nanocavities

Maria Carmen Giordano

Magnetic thin films and magnetic nanostructures have become essential components of modern technological applications. Modern branches of magnetisms focus on spin-charge coupling (spintronics) and the collective excitation of spin waves in magnetically ord ...

Fully spin-polarized bulk states in ferroelectric GeTe

Jan Hugo Dil, Mauro Fanciulli

By measuring the spin polarization of GeTe films as a function of light polarization we observed that the bulk states are fully spin polarized in the initial state, in strong contrast with observations for other systems with a strong spin-orbit interaction ...

Evolution of the Fermi surface of BiTeCl with pressure

Helmuth Berger

We report measurements of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the giant Rashba semiconductor BiTeCl under applied pressures up to similar to 2.5 GPa. We observe two distinct oscillation frequencies, corresponding to the Rashba-split inner and outer Fermi sur ...

Disentangling bulk and surface Rashba effects in ferroelectric alpha-GeTe

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff

Macroscopic ferroelectric order in alpha-GeTe with its noncentrosymmetric lattice structure leads to a giant Rashba spin splitting in the bulk bands due to strong spin-orbit interaction. Direct measurements of the bulk band structure using soft x-ray angle ...

Experimental determination of the bulk Rashba parameters in BiTeBr

Helmuth Berger, Arnaud Magrez, Philippe Bugnon

Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, Hall effect, and optical reflectance (R(omega)) measurements have been performed on single crystals of BiTeBr. Under magnetic fields up to 32 tesla and at temperatures as low as 0.4K, the SdH data shows a single oscill ...

Anisotropic Elliott-Yafet theory and application to KC8 potassium intercalated graphite

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Péter Szirmai, Ferenc Simon, Bence Gábor Márkus

We report electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on stage-I potassium intercalated graphite (KC8). Angular dependent measurements show that the spin-lattice relaxation time is longer when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the graphene layer as com ...

Unconventional dc Transport in Rashba Electron Gases

Claudio Grimaldi

We discuss the transport properties of a disordered two-dimensional electron gas with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show that in the high-density regime where the Fermi energy overcomes the energy associated with spin-orbit coupling, dc transport i ...

Origin and Magnitude of 'Designer' Spin-Orbit Interaction in Graphene on Semiconducting Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Helmuth Berger, Zhe Wang

We use a combination of experimental techniques to demonstrate a general occurrence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) substrates. Our measurements indicate that SOI is ultrastrong and extremely robust, des ...
