In this work, we consider the case of combined Rashba and Zeeman interactions, which leads to a Fermi surface without cylindrical symmetry. While the classical trajectories are effectively unchanged, we predict an additional contribution to the phase, linear in the applied in-plane magnetic field. We show that this term is unique to TMF, and vanishes for magnetic (Shubnikov de Haas) oscillations. Finally we propose some experimental signatures of this phase.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-03-02T04:11:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin-orbit coupled transverse magnetic focusing", "emergent phase", "interference", "fermi surface", "applied in-plane magnetic field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
