Their findings, published in Nature Energy, demonstrate that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) inherent in these materials can be leveraged to boost OER activity, facilitating more efficient ...

Iridium-doped iron-cobalt (Fe-Co-Ir) alloys, previously identified through machine learning, have been shown to have enhanced ...

A way to generate and control spin currents without magnetic fields or magnetic materials may be possible using dissipative quantum ratchets in the presence of spin–orbit coupling. But still ...

Addition of iridium leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of iron and cobalt and 5d electrons of iridium, significantly enhancing the magnetic ...

This focus describes the theory and mechanisms behind the coupling and a discussion of the potential applications. First studied more than a decade ago, the field of spin–orbit interactions of ...

which requires elements with strong spin-orbit coupling, such as platinum and tungsten. "In contrast, our approach takes advantage of a novel fundamental phenomenon by using orbital currents ...

Although we do not address Majorana zero modes, our study provides a template for exploring such phenomena in a one-dimensional material with strong spin-orbit coupling," says Bampoulis.

We are interested in exploring and modelling new quantum phenomena in 2D systems (spin-orbit coupled materials or unconventional superconductors). Of particular interest is to understand the role of ...
