In a biased two-dimensional electron gas, the presence of spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba and Dresselhaus type leads to a Hall conductivity of charge carriers in the absence of an external magnetic field. We study the dynamical charge-Hall effect, the field-induced spin accumulation, and the magnetoelectric effect for a system with short-range elastic impurity scattering by analytically solving the kinetic equations for the spin-density matrix in the linear response regime. By tuning the strength of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling as well as the frequency and direction of the applied electric field, eigenmodes of the spin-coupled system are identified.

AbstractThe transconductance and effective Landé $$g^*$$ g ∗ factors for a quantum point contact defined in silicene by the electric field of a split gate is investigated. The strong spin–orbit coupling in buckled silicene reduces the $$g^*$$ g ∗ factor for in-plane magnetic field from the nominal value 2 to around 1.2 for the first- to 0.45 for the third conduction subband. However, for perpendicular magnetic field we observe an enhancement of $$g^*$$ g ∗ factors for the first subband to 5.8 in nanoribbon with zigzag and to 2.5 with armchair edge. The main contribution to the Zeeman splitting comes from the intrinsic spin–orbit coupling defined by the Kane–Mele form of interaction.
