Quantum spin Hall effect in rutile-based oxide multilayers
J. L. Lado, Daniel Guterding, Paolo Barone +2
Dirac points in two-dimensional electronic structures are a source for topological electronic states due to the Berry phase that they sustain. Here we show that two rutile…
Magneto-electric coupling in type-I multiferroic ScFeO
Gianluca Giovannetti, Danilo Puggioni, Paolo Barone +3
We investigate the electronic structure and the ferroelectric properties of the recently discovered multiferroic ScFeO by means of ab-initio calculations. The manifold of…
Topological Phase Transition Coupled with Spin-Valley Physics in Ferroelectric Oxide Heterostructures
Kunihiko Yamauchi, Paolo Barone, Silvia Picozzi
The possibility to engineer the coupling of spin and valley physics is explored in ferroelectric oxide heterostructures with eg electronic configuration. We show that the polar str…
Possibility of Combining Ferroelectricity and Rashba-like spin splitting in Monolayers of 1T-type Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides MX2
Emilie Bruyer, Domenico Di Sante, Paolo Barone +3
First-principles calculations were carried out to explore the possible coupling between spin-polarized electronic states and ferroelectric polarization in monolayers of transition-…
Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-splitting in the bulk ferroelectric oxide BiAlO
Luiz Gustavo Davanse da Silveira, Paolo Barone, Silvia Picozzi
It has been recently suggested that the coexistence of ferroelectricity and Rashba-like spin-splitting effects due to spin-orbit coupling in a single material may allow for a non-v…
Intertwined Rashba, Dirac and Weyl Fermions in Hexagonal Hyperferroelectrics
Domenico Di Sante, Paolo Barone, Alessandro Stroppa +3
By means of density functional theory based calculations, we study the role of spin-orbit coupling in the new family of ABC hyperferroelectrics [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 127601 (2014)…
