Open AccessBand splitting with vanishing spin polarizations in noncentrosymmetric crystals
The Dresselhaus and Rashba effects are well-known phenomena in solid-state physics, in which spin–orbit coupling splits spin-up and spin-down energy bands of nonmagnetic non-centrosymmetric crystals. Here, we ...
