Tuning the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in graphene is highly desired for its application in spintronics. In this paper, we calculated the band gap induced by SOC in graphene under uniaxial strain from a tight-binding model, and found that the band gap has a monotonic increasing dependence on the strain in the range of -20% to 15%. Our results suggest that strain can be used as a reversible and controllable way to tune the SOC in graphene. First-principles calculations were performed, confirming the results of tight-binding approximation.

We investigate the electronic structures and thermoelectric properties of a recently synthesized half-Heusler ZrNiPb compound by using a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA plus spin–orbit coupling (GGA + SOC).

AbstractIn recent years the intermetallic ternary RE2MgGe2 (RE = rare earth) compounds attract interest in a variety of technological areas. We therefore investigate in the present work the structural, electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of Nd2MgGe2 and Gd2MgGe2. Spin–orbit coupling is found to play an essential role in realizing the antiferromagnetic ground state observed in experiments. Both materials show metallicity and application of a Debye-Slater model demonstrates low thermal conductivity and little effects of the RE atom on the thermodynamic behavior.
