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…
