Two-dimensional Rashba metals: Unconventional low-temperature transport properties
May 1, 2019
Rashba spin-orbit coupling emerges in materials lacking of structural inversion symmetry, such as heterostructures, quantum wells, surface alloys and polar materials, just to mention few examples. It yields a coupling between the spin and momentum of electrons formally identical to that arising from the weakly-relativistic limit of the Dirac equation. The purpose of the present work is to give an overview of the unconventional dc transport properties of two-dimensional metals with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling, discussing in addition the effects of thermal broadening.
