TLDR
In this article, a character table for the group of the wave vector at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone is given, and a possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure is presented.Abstract:
Character tables for the "group of the wave vector" at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone are given. The additional degeneracies due to time reversal symmetry are indicated. The form of energy vs wave vector at these points of symmetry is derived. A possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure will be presented.read more

Anderson Transition of Cold Atoms with Synthetic Spin-Orbit Coupling in Two-Dimensional Speckle Potentials
TL;DR: It is shown that the mobility edge depends strongly on the mixing angle between Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings, which indicates the crossing to the orthogonal class, where such a 2D transition is forbidden.

Finite Size Scaling Analysis of the Anderson Transition
TL;DR: In this paper, the progress made during the past three decades in finite size scaling analysis of the critical phenomena of the Anderson transition is described and a comparison with experiment is made, and a direction for future work is suggested.

Particles in non-Abelian gauge potentials - Landau problem and insertion of non-Abelian flux
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the Landau level spectrum in planar and spherical geometry, paying particular attention to the role of the total angular momentum J = L + S in the formation of charged spin-textures, which can be identified with quantum Hall Skyrmions.

Theory of the effective Hamiltonian for degenerate bands in an electric field
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the dipole matrix element of a unit cell is not a suitable foundation for a Hamiltonian because it depends on the choice of unit cell, which is arbitrary.

Switching effect in spin field-effect transistors
TL;DR: In this paper, the conductance of a spin field effect transistor (SFET) is manipulated by spin-orbit coupling strength, interfacial barrier height, and spin polarization in source and drain.

Effect of Time-Reversal Symmetry on Energy Bands of Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a criterion is developed to facilitate calculation of when and how such additional degeneracy will occur, and the consequences of the reality of the Hamiltonian are tabulated for a number of cases.
