Nonlinear spin and orbital Rashba-Edelstein effects induced by a femtosecond laser pulse: Simulations for Au(001)
Oliver Busch, Franziska Ziolkowski, Börge Göbel +2
Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling gives rise to distinctive surface and interface phenomena, such as spin-momentum locking and spin splitting. In nonequilibrium settings, one of the…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising materials exhibiting exceptional strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties, making them promising for various technologies. Be…
Current-induced spin and orbital polarization in the ferroelectric Rashba semiconductor GeTe
Sergio Leiva-Montecinos, Libor VojáÄek, Jing Li +4
The Edelstein effect is a promising mechanism for generating spin and orbital polarization from charge currents in systems without inversion symmetry. In ferroelectric materials, s…
Chirality-induced orbital Edelstein effect in an analytically solvable model
Börge Göbel, Lennart Schimpf, Ingrid Mertig
Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), a phenomenon wherein chiral structures selectively determine the spin polarization of electron currents flowing through the material, has…
Topological orbital Hall effect caused by skyrmions and antiferromagnetic skyrmions
Börge Göbel, Lennart Schimpf, Ingrid Mertig
The topological Hall effect is a hallmark of topologically non-trivial magnetic textures such as magnetic skyrmions. It quantifies the transverse electric current that is generated…
RC circuit based on magnetic skyrmions
Ismael Ribeiro de Assis, Ingrid Mertig, Börge Göbel
Skyrmions are nano-sized magnetic whirls attractive for spintronic applications due to their innate stability. They can emulate the characteristic behavior of various spintronic an…
