In one sentence: The spin Hall effect is a phenomenon in which an ordinary electric current flowing through a non-magnetic conductor with strong spin-orbit coupling creates a sideways spin current, ...

Researchers at the Würzburg site of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat have succeeded in transferring the topological quantum Hall and spin Hall effects to a hybrid light-matter system by harnessing ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...

The research team achieved the hybrid spin-orbit coupling-driven optical spin Hall effect at room temperature for the first time through an organic microcavity structure. The device is a Fabry–Perot ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...
