Title: Relativistic effects like spin orbit coupling
Post by: abhishek77492652 on January 3, 2018, 13:10

Can anyone tell me what is the limitation of relativistic effects  like spin orbit coupling ? (Generally why we are not considering spin orbit coupling in simulation ?)

Very generally (perhaps even overly simplified), spin-orbit effects are important for some types of spintronics calculations, but are most often not important in other kinds of computational research.

What are the types of spintronics calculation in which we are considering the spin-orbit effects ?

On what limitations of relativistic effects, we are not using it ?

Lot's of spintronics literature considers spin-orbit effects, you may check yourself. I guess there should also be some literature (books, review papers) that discusses the relative impact of spin-orbit coupling in general terms.

Please suggest some literature

The literature is too broad on this topic, and you may want searching and choosing yourself what is of interest and relevance for your particular research topic.  Please use search engines such as google scholar and web of science.
