Radial Rashba spin-orbit fields in commensurate twisted transition-metal dichalcogenide bilayers
Thomas Naimer, Paulo E. Faria Junior, Klaus Zollner +1
In commensurate twisted homobilayers, purely radial Rashba spin-orbit fields can emerge. We employ first-principles calculations to investigate the band structures and the spin-orb…
Tuning proximity spin-orbit coupling in graphene/NbSe heterostructures via twist angle
Thomas Naimer, Martin Gmitra, Jaroslav Fabian
We investigate the effect of the twist angle on the proximity spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in graphene/NbSe heterostructures from first principles. The low-energy Dirac bands of s…
Twist-angle dependent proximity induced spin-orbit coupling in graphene/topological insulator heterostructures
Thomas Naimer, Jaroslav Fabian
The proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in heterostructures of twisted graphene and topological insulators (TIs) BiSe and BiTe is investigated from first pr…
Proximity-enhanced valley Zeeman splitting at the WS/graphene interface
Paulo E. Faria Junior, Thomas Naimer, Kathleen M. McCreary +5
The valley Zeeman physics of excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides provides valuable insight into the spin and orbital degrees of freedom inherent to these materia…
Twist-angle dependent proximity induced spin-orbit coupling in graphene/transition-metal dichalcogenide heterostructures
Thomas Naimer, Klaus Zollner, Martin Gmitra +1
We investigate the proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling in heterostructures of twisted graphene and monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) MoS, WS, MoSe$_2…
