We demonstrate theoretically all-electric control of the superconducting transition temperature using a device comprised of a conventional superconductor, a ferromagnetic insulator, and semiconducting layers with intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. By using analytical calculations and numerical simulations, we show that the transition temperature of such a device can be controlled by electric gating...

In accounting for the magnetic properties of discrete and extended compounds with unpaired spins, it is crucial to know the nature of their ground and low-lying excited states. In this review we surveyed quantum mechanical descriptions on how these states are affected by spin-orbit coupling and attempted to provide a conceptual framework with which to think about spin-orbit coupling and its app...

Spin–orbit coupling often causes fine structure splittings in atomic and molecular spectra and induces spin-forbidden transitions by breaking symmetry selection rules. Recently, it was found that the vibrational frequencies of molecular cations such as CH2XI + (X=Br, Cl) are also affected dramatically by this interaction. Hyperconjugative inter-halogen interaction was thought to play a part. In...

The Anderson localization problem for a noninteracting two-dimensional electron gas subject to a strong magnetic field, disordered potential, and spin-orbit coupling is studied numerically on a square lattice. The nature of the corresponding localization-delocalization transition and the properties of the pertinent extended states depend on whether the spin-orbit coupling is uniform or fully ra...

We consider theoretically the impact of Rashba spin-orbit coupling on spin torque oscillators (STOs) in synthetic ferromagnets and antiferromagnets that have either a bulk multilayer or a thin film structure. The synthetic magnets consist of a fixed polarizing layer and two free magnetic layers that interact through the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction. We determine analytically which ...

Supersymmetry transformations are a kind of square root of spacetime translations. The corresponding Lie superalgebra always contains the supertranslation operator δ = c α σ µ α ˙ β c ˙ β (ǫ µ) †. We find that the cohomology of this operator depends on a spin-orbit coupling in an SU (2) group and has a quite complicated structure. This spin-orbit type coupling will turn out to be basic in the c...

We evaluate the spin-orbit and spin-spin interaction between two fermions in strongly coupled gauge theories in their Coulomb phase. We use the quasi-instantaneous character of Coulomb’s law at strong coupling to resum a class of ladder diagrams. For N = 4 SYM we derive both weak and strong coupling limits of the the spin-orbit and spin-spin interactions, and find that in the latter case these ...

Two magnetic impurities on the edge of a zigzag graphene nanoribbon strongly interact with each other via indirect coupling, which can be mediated by conducting carriers. By means of Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, we find that the spin-orbit coupling λ and the chemical potential μ in system can be used to drive the transition of local-spin exchange from ferromagnetism to anti-ferromagne...
