The Dirac paradox in 1 + 1 dimensions and its realization with spin–orbit coupled nanowires
At the interface between two massless Dirac models with opposite helicity a paradoxical situation arises: a transversally impinging electron can seemingly neither be transmitted nor reflected, due to the locking between spin and momentum. Here we investigate this paradox in one spatial dimension whe...
