Spin-orbit Coupling Effects in Two-Dimensional Electron and Hole Systems

Exploring the intricate effects of spin-orbit coupling in quasi-two-dimensional electron and hole systems, the book delves into how this phenomenon influences the electronic structure and leads to unique behaviors such as spin splitting in inversion-asymmetric materials. It combines theoretical insights with detailed discussions on both zero and nonzero magnetic fields, supported by precise numerical calculations and accessible analytical models. The emphasis is on understanding the underlying physical concepts and interpreting the results effectively.
