In 1984, Bychkov and Rashba introduced a simple form of spin-orbit coupling to explain the peculiarities of electron spin resonance in two-dimensional semiconductors. Over the past 30 years, Rashba spin-orbit coupling has inspired a vast number of predictions, discoveries and innovative concepts far beyond semiconductors. The past decade has been particularly creative, with the realizations of manipulating spin orientation by moving electrons in space, controlling electron trajectories using spin as a steering wheel, and the discovery of new topological classes of materials. This progress has reinvigorated the interest of physicists and materials scientists in the development of inversion asymmetric structures, ranging from layered graphene-like materials to cold atoms. This Review discusses relevant recent and ongoing realizations of Rashba physics in condensed matter.

Magnetism, symmetry and spin transport in van der Waals layered systems (2021, neutral): “At the Γ point of those systems, only in-plane fields perpendicular to the layer and the current such as the one illustrated in Fig.8a are allowed by the in-plane spin textures (Fig.8c) enforced by the symmetries 145 .”

Current-induced spin-orbit torques in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems (2018, background): “…Van der Waals crystals provide a unique platform for generating SOTs because they have strong spin-orbit coupling, a range of broken crystal symmetries, and can be prepared as monolayer crystalline films by exfoliation or chemical vapor deposition methods (Manchon et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2014).”
