Geometric spin–orbit coupling and chirality-induced spin selectivity
We report a new type of spin–orbit coupling (SOC) called geometric SOC. Starting from the relativistic theory in curved space, we derive an effective nonrelativistic Hamiltonian in a generic curve embedded into flat three dimensions. The geometric SOC is O ( m ^−1 ), in which m is the electron mass,...
