Rashba spin-orbit coupling enhanced magnetoresistance in junctions with one ferromagnet

Chenghao Shen, Ranran Cai, Alex Matos-Abiague +3

We explain how Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), or in a conventional $s$-wave superconductor, can lead to a large magnetoresistance even w…
