Kubo formula for dc conductivity: Generalization to systems with spin-orbit coupling
We revise the Kubo formula for the electric dc conductivity in the presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We discover that each velocity operator that enters this formula differs from ∂H/∂p, where H is the Hamiltonian and p is the canonical momentum. Moreover, we find an additional contribution to t...
