• Scientists Demonstrate New Opportunities for Controlling Light in Optical Graphene

  …etic field, and the applied magnetic field arranges the spins in one direction thus minimizing the system’s energy. But a particle’s energy can also depend on the correlation between its spin and orbital moment. And this is the so-called spin-orbit interaction. The Dresselhaus effect is when the energy of a particle that moves with a specific speed depends on its spi…
