Magnetoelectric torque and edge currents in spin-orbit coupled graphene nanoribbons

For graphene nanoribbons with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, the peculiar magnetic response due to the presence of a magnetization and geometric confinement are analyzed within a tight-binding model. We observe a sizable transverse susceptibility that can be considered as a gate-voltage-induced magneto...
