Unified Magnetoelectric Mechanism for Spin Splitting in Magnets

Carlos Mera Acosta

We identify a magnetoelectric correction that completes the theoretical description of spin splitting (SS) in magnetic systems. Derived from the Dirac equation, this term couples l…

Spin-deformation coupling in two-dimensional polar materials

J. A. Sánchez-Monroy, Carlos Mera Acosta

The control of the spin degree of freedom is at the heart of spintronics, which can potentially be achieved by spin-orbit coupling or band topological effects. In this paper, we ex…

Zeeman-type spin splitting in non-magnetic three-dimensional compounds: Materials prediction and electrical control

Carlos Mera Acosta, Adalberto Fazzio, Gustavo M. Dalpian

Despite its potential for device application, the non-magnetic Zeeman effect has only been predicted and observed in two-dimensional compounds. We demonstrate that non-centrosymmet…

Spin-polarization control driven by a Rashba-type effect breaking the mirror symmetry in two-dimensional dual topological insulators

Carlos Mera Acosta, Adalberto Fazzio

Three-dimensional topological insulators protected by both the time reversal (TR) and mirror symmetries were recently predicted and observed. Two-dimensional materials featuring th…

Unconventional spin texture in a non-centrosymmetric quantum spin Hall insulator

Carlos Mera Acosta, O. Babilonia, L. B. Abdalla +1

We proposed that the simultaneous presence of both Rashba and band inversion can lead to a Rashba-like spin-splitting formed by two bands with the same in-plane helical spin textur…
