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.

Externally controlled high degree of spin polarization and spin inversion in a conducting junction: Two new approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed two new approaches for regulating spin polarization and spin inversion in a conducting junction within a tight-binding framework based on wave-guide theory, which is valid for a wide range of parameter values which demonstrates the robustness of their proposition.

A spin-orbit playground: surfaces and interfaces of transition metal oxides.

TL;DR: This review presents the current status of the research on the spin-orbit coupling in transition metal oxides, discussing the case of two semiconducting compounds and the properties of surface and interfaces based on these, and the investigation of topological effects predicted to occur in different complex oxides.

Spin relaxation in the channel of a spin field-effect transistor

TL;DR: In this article, the major spin relaxation mechanism (D'yakonov-Perel') in the channel of a spin field effect transistor (SPINFET) was examined and shown analytically that it can be completely eliminated if the channel is a quantum wire and transport is strictly single moded (only the lowest subband is occupied).
