WHAT IS SPIN
e
The electron rotates around the nucleus orbit
The electron rotates around itself spin magnetic dipole

WHAT IS SPIN-ORBIT INTERACTION
The motion seen from the lab frame: The electron rotates around the nucleus
e e
The motion seen by the electron: The nucleus rotates around the electron and creates a magnetic field
In atoms
In crystals e

WHAT IS SPINTRONICS
The electron has electric charge electric current Electronics: information carried by electric signals
The electron has spin magnetic (spin) current Spintronics: information carried by magnetic signals
The spin-orbit interaction allows the influence of electric fields on spin currents

TYPES OF SPIN-ORBIT INTERACTION IN NANOSTRUCTURES
Rashba: due to the electric field of the vertical confinement
Dresselhaus: due to the electric field of the crystal
