Equilibrium spin current in graphene with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
The existence of a background spin current under thermodynamic equilibrium is an interesting phenomenon in the two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC). Here we study the equilibrium spin current (ESC) in graphene with RSOC. For an infinite graphene with uniform RSOC, we found that the ESC is proportional to λ(2) with λ the Rashba strength and mainly comes from the en...

متن کاملElectron-dephasing time in a two-dimensional spin-polarized system with Rashba spin-orbit interaction.
We calculate the dephasing time tau(phi)(B) of an electron in a two-dimensional system with a Rashba spin-orbit interaction, spin-polarized by an arbitrarily large magnetic field parallel to the layer. tau(phi)(B) is estimated from the logarithmic corrections to the conductivity within a perturbative approach that assumes weak, isotropic disorder scattering. For any value of the magnetic field,...
متن کاملSpin Dependent Scattering in Graphene Systems: From Impurity Characterization to Birefringent Electron Optics
An important effect on the dynamics of spins in materials is the spin-orbit interaction (SOI), which reflects/arises from intrinsic lack of inversion symmetry in the lattice structure, or via broken symmetries in the system due to external or interfacial fields (Rashba interaction). Although intrinsic SOI is weak in graphene, the Rashba SOI can in fact be large due to strong local hybridization...
متن کاملSymmetries of quantum transport with Rashba spin-orbit: graphene spintronics.
The lack of some spatial symmetries in planar devices with Rashba spin-orbit interactions opens up the possibility of producing spin polarized electrical currents in the absence of external magnetic fields or magnetic impurities. We study how the direction of the spin polarization of the current is related to spatial symmetries of the device. As an example of these relations we study numericall...
