This work introduces a generalization of the form of the spin-orbit interaction, the generalized spin-orbit interaction (GSOI). It expresses the magnetic field induced by two charged particles moving with a non-zero relative velocity as a field defined at all points in space, and exists in the reference frames of both particles. This is in contrast to spin-orbit interaction theory, in which the generated magnetic field is defined at only one point in space, and exists in the reference frame of one of the two particles. At the macroscopic scale, it is shown that the GSOI theory implies the same form of the O{}rsted magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire. However, the theory is incompatible with the microscopic form of the Biot-Savart equation that implies that a charged particle induces a magnetic field by having a non-zero velocity. The implications of the GSOI theory on properties of the O{}rsted magnetic field in current-carrying atomically thin two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, are discussed. The framework established in this paper aims at re-imagining classical physical concepts in light of an advanced microscopic understanding.

A wire that conducts an electric current will give rise to circular magnetic field (the {O}rsted magnetic field) that is easily calculated using the Maxwell-Ampere equation. For wires with diameters in the macroscopic scale, this is an established ph
ysical law that has been demonstrated for two centuries. The Maxwell-Ampere equation is based on the argument that the induction of {O}rsted magnetic field is only a result of the displacement of charge. An alternative derivation of the {O}rsted magnetic field in conductors was suggested in [J. Mag. Mag. Mat. 504, 166660 (2020)] (will be called the current magnetization hypothesis (CMH) thereupon), which proposes that the {O}rsted magnetic field results from a two-body interaction. The present work establishes computationally, using simplified wire models, that the CMH reproduces the results of the Maxwell-Ampere equation for wires with a square cross section. Thus, CMH is proposed as a microscopic theory of magnetic induction, in contrast to the Maxwellian continuum theory of magnetic induction. I demonstrate that CMH could resolve the apparent contradiction between the observed induced magnetic field and that predicted by the Maxwell-Ampere equation in nanowires, as was reported in [Phys. Rev. B 99, 014436 (2019)]. The CMH shows that a possible reason for such contradiction is the presence of non-conductive surface layers in conductors.
We present an {it ab initio}-based theoretical framework which elucidates the origin of the spin-orbit torque (SOT) in Normal-Metal(NM)/Ferromagnet(FM) heterostructures. The SOT is decomposed into two contributions, namely, {it spin-Hall} and the {it
spin-orbital} components. We find that {it (i)} the Field-Like (FL) SOT is dominated by the spin-orbital component and {it (ii)} both components contribute to the damping-like torque with comparable magnitude in the limit of thick Pt film. The contribution of the spin-orbital component to the DL-SOT is present only for NMs with strong SOC coupling strength. We demonstrate that the FL-SOT can be expressed in terms of the non-equilibrium spin-resolved orbital moment accumulation. The calculations reveal that the experimentally reported oxygen-induced sign-reversal of the FL-SOT in Pt/Co bilayers is due to the significant reduction of the majority-spin orbital moment accumulation on the interfacial NM atoms.
The coupling of the spin and the motion of charge carriers stems directly from the atomic structure of a conductor. It has become an important ingredient for the emergence of topological matter, and, in particular, topological superconductivity which
could host non-abelian excitations such as Majorana modes or parafermions. These modes are sought after mostly in semiconducting platforms which are made of heavy atoms and therefore exhibit naturally a large spin-orbit interaction. Creating domain walls in the spin orbit interaction at the nanoscale may turn out to be a crucial resource for engineering topological excitations suitable for universal topological quantum computing. For example, it has been proposed for exploring exotic electronic states or for creating hinge states. Realizing this in natural platforms remains a challenge. In this work, we show how this can be alternatively implemented by using a synthetic spin orbit interaction induced by two lithographically patterned magnetically textured gates. By using a double quantum dot in a light material -- a carbon nanotube -- embedded in a microwave cavity, we trigger hopping between two adjacent orbitals with the microwave photons and directly compare the wave functions separated by the domain wall via the light-matter coupling. We show that we can achieve an engineered staggered spin-orbit interaction with a change of strength larger than the hopping energy between the two sites.
Effects associated with the interference of electron waves around a magnetic point defect in two-dimensional electron gas with combined Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction in the presence of a parallel magnetic field are theoretically investiga
ted. The effect of a magnetic field on the anisotropic spatial distribution of the local density of states and the local density of magnetization is analyzed. The existence of oscillations of the density of magnetization with scattering by a non-magnetic defect and the contribution of magnetic scattering (accompanied by spin-flip) in the local density of electron states are predicted.
We employ inelastic light scattering with magnetic fields to study intersubband spin plasmons in a quantum well. We demonstrate the existence of a giant collective spin-orbit (SO) field that splits the spin-plasmon spectrum into a triplet. The effect
is remarkable as each individual electron would be expected to precess in its own momentum-dependent SO field, leading to Dyakonov-Perel dephasing. Instead, many-body effects lead to a striking organization of the SO fields at the collective level. The macroscopic spin moment is quantized by a uniform collective SO field, five times higher than the individual SO field. We provide a momentum-space cartography of this field.
