• Abstract: A higher-order relativistic k.p model is developed to describe plasmon excitations in two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and magnetic-exchange interactions. Derived entirely from ab initio band structure, the model allows for a non-Rashba spin-momentum locking and enables a direct coupling of the exchange field to the real spin of electrons. Using the BiTeI trilayer (hexagonal C3v symmetry) and the Si-terminated surface state of TbRh2Si2 (cubic C4v symmetry) as prototypes, we show that the exchange field induces strong, symmetry-dependent modifications of the band structure and plasmon dispersion. In BiTeI, it breaks the sixfold symmetry and leads to anisotropic, nonreciprocal plasmon modes, while in TbRh2Si2 it suppresses the characteristic triple spin winding and alters the plasmon damping. The results reveal that the interplay between SOC and exchange magnetism enables magnetic control of collective charge excitations in 2D spin-orbit systems beyond the Rashba paradigm.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
