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

Chaos-driven dynamics in spin-orbit-coupled atomic gases
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of a trapped, spin-orbit coupled, dilute atomic gas is studied, and the characteristics of the evolution are greatly influenced by the symmetries of the system.

Anisotropic plasmons in a two-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit interaction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated spin-orbit coupling-induced anisotropies of plasmon dynamics in two-dimensional semiconductor structures and showed that if the strengths of the two interactions are equal, not only the anisotropy but also all traces of the linear spinorbit coupling in the collective response disappear.

Odd-frequency superconducting pairing in junctions with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider normal-superconductor (NS) and superconductor-normal-superconducting (SNS) junctions based on one-dimensional nanowires with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and proximity-induced $s$-wave spin-singlet superconductivity and analytically demonstrate how both even and odd-frequency and spinsinglet and -triplet superconducting pair correlations are always present.

Chapter 3 Magnetooptical Properties of Hg1-x Cdx Te Alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the quasi-germanium model was used to describe the behavior of the electrons and holes in Hg 1 − x Cd x Te and the dependence of the model parameters on alloy composition and temperature.

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.
