Summary: The interaction between linear and cubic spin-orbit couplings in the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LaO/STO) system provides new possibilities for spin transport applications. By studying the interplay between linear and cubic Rashba spin orbit coupling (RSOC) on in-plane magnetic moments, it is found that the presence of multiple types of RSOC with distinct angular dependencies breaks the symmetry of the Fermi surface and ensures a finite spin accumulation.

Summary: In this study, a generalized Rashba coupling approximation is introduced to solve confined two-dimensional electron systems with both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings in an external magnetic field. A solvable Hamiltonian is obtained, and analytical energies and spin polarization are analyzed. It is found that Dresselhaus coupling and Zeeman splittings tend to suppress the resonant spin Hall effect.

Summary: Janus MoSSe monolayer exhibits significant spin Hall conductivity, which can be significantly tuned by adjusting the Fermi level or external strains. The spin Hall conductivity in the valence bands is comparable to that of MoS2 and MoSe2, while in the conduction bands, it is enhanced by two orders of magnitude due to strong Rashba SOC.

Summary: We theoretically predict the existence of a nonzero magnetochiral anisotropy-induced nonlinear Hall effect in spin-orbit coupled Rashba conductors under an in-plane magnetic field. This effect is distinct from the Berry curvature dipole (BCD)-induced nonlinear Hall effect and requires broken time-reversal symmetry.

Summary: The experimentally obtained spin current related magnetoresistance in epitaxial Pt/Co bilayers was analyzed using a drift-diffusion model incorporating both bulk spin Hall effect and interfacial Rashba-Edelstein effect. The analysis showed a temperature-independent Rashba parameter and an effective interfacial REE thickness at the Pt/Co interface, indicating the need to consider both bulk and interface charge-spin current interconversions in highly conductive magnetic heterostructures.

Summary: In this article, the authors study the topological characters and superconducting pairing in monolayer beta-Bi2Pd. They find that non-Rashba spin-orbit coupling plays a critical role in realizing and tuning various novel topological natures. They reveal the existence of spin-triplet p-wave superconducting pairing in the material. This study deepens our understanding of topology and superconductivity in monolayer I3-Bi2Pd.

Summary: In this study, we theoretically investigate the spin-texture dynamics and the transverse asymmetric charge deflection induced by the polaron in a quadrilateral prism-shaped nanotube with the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. We demonstrate that the polaron generates nontrivial local spin textures within the cross section plane of the nanotube, with oscillating patterns depending on the type of spin-orbit coupling. Additionally, the presence of a ferromagnetic domain segment in the nanotube can lead to significant asymmetric charge deflection, known as the anomalous Hall effect. The strength, orientations of the ferromagnetic magnetization, and spin-orbit coupling type determine the amount of deflected charges. This work provides valuable insights into the coherent transport of polarons in quasi-one-dimensional nanotubes with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling and opens up avenues for potential device applications.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the Magnus transport in a gapped two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling using semiclassical Boltzmann transport formalism. We find that the behavior of Magnus spin Hall conductivity and Nernst conductivity is affected by the mass gap and Fermi surface topology.

Summary: This study presents a theoretical investigation of the spin and valley dependent transport properties in a WSe2 superlattice with external Rashba spin-orbit interaction (ERSOI). The results demonstrate that the conductance, with and without spin flip, strongly relies on the ERSOI and exhibits oscillatory behavior with respect to the ERSOI strength. Furthermore, the magnitude of spin-dependent conductance can be controlled by the potential barrier height and number of superlattice barriers. The results also reveal an oscillatory evolution of the valley and spin polarization with respect to ERSOI strength and potential barrier height, indicating the potential use of a WSe2 superlattice for the design of novel valleytronic and spintronic devices.

Summary: This study explores the effects of Ned-type skyrmions on conduction electrons in two-dimensional Rashba spin-orbit ferromagnets, uncovering resonance structures in direct and Hall electric conductivities. The resonances are found to depend on skyrmion size, Rashba spin-orbit coupling vector value, and relative direction between magnetization and Rashba vectors. The results demonstrate the potential of utilizing resonance properties for spin transistors.
