The electronic band structure of graphene in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and transverse electric field is investigated from first principles using the linearized augmented plane-wave method. The spin-orbit coupling opens a gap at the $K(K)$-point of the magnitude of 24 $mu$eV (0.28 K). This intrinsic splitting comes 96% from the usually neglected $d$ and higher orbitals. The electric field induces an additional (extrinsic) Bychkov-Rashba-type splitting of 10 $mu$eV (0.11 K) per V/nm, coming from the $sigma$-$pi$ mixing. A mini-ripple configuration with every other atom is shifted out of the sheet by less than 1% differs little from the intrinsic case.
We compute spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in strained PtMnSb from first principles. We consider both tetragonal strain and shear strain. We find a strong linear dependence of the field-like SOTs on these strains, while the antidamping SOT is only moderate
We determine the fundamental electronic and optical properties of the high-thermal-conductivity III-V semiconductor boron arsenide (BAs) using density functional and many body perturbation theory including quasiparticle and spin-orbit coupling correc
We have examined theoretically the electronic band structure and Fermi surface of tetragonal low-temperature superconductor Bi2Pd. Our main results are that (i) the Pd 4d and Bi 6p states determine the main peculiarities of the multiple-sheets FS top
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is essential in understanding the properties of 5d transition metal compounds, whose SOC value is large and almost comparable to other key parameters. Over the past few years, there have been numerous studies on the SOC-driv
We use a recently developed self-consistent GW approximation to present first principles calculations of the conduction band spin splitting in GaAs under [110] strain. The spin orbit interaction is taken into account as a perturbation to the scalar r
