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

TL;DR: In this article, a spin-orbit coupled system of particles in an external trap that is represented by a deformed harmonic oscillator potential is considered, and the effect of a Zeeman term is also considered.

Landau Levels in Uniaxially Strained Graphene: A Geometrical Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of strain on the Landau levels (LLs) spectra in graphene is studied, using an effective Dirac-like Hamiltonian which includes the distortion in the Dirac cones, anisotropy and spatial-dependence of the Fermi velocity induced by the lattice change through a renormalized linear momentum.

Rashba spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional systems
TL;DR: In this paper, various aspects of spin transport in two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling are reviewed, including spin-charge conversion processes, quenched spin relaxation in the spin helix state, as well as the Zitterbewegung effect, quantum anomalous and magnetoelectric effects, and Floquet physics.

X1 and X3 states of electrons and phonons in zincblende type semiconductors
TL;DR: In this paper, the symmetries of the lowest conduction states at the X point in the Brillouin zone of these compounds were obtained by the first principles pseudopotential and the LMTO methods and consistently labeled for this class of compounds.

Spin filtering in a Rashba-Dresselhaus-Aharonov-Bohm double-dot interferometer
Shlomi Matityahu,Amnon Aharony,Amnon Aharony,Ora Entin-Wohlman,Ora Entin-Wohlman,Seigo Tarucha +5 more
TL;DR: The double-dot interferometer can serve as a perfect spin filter due to a spin interference effect as mentioned in this paper, and the spin filtering conditions become simpler in the linear-response regime, in which the electrons have a fixed energy.
