We establish the fundamental physics of a model which can be viewed as the double version of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. This model describes the low energy physics of a class of massless Dirac fermions in spin-orbit systems. The physical properties of the massless Dirac fermions are determined by the mathematical relations of spin-orbit coefficients. For equal Rashba and Dresselhauss coupling constants, k-independent eigenspinors and a persistent spin helix combined with massless birefringent Dirac fermions emerge in this model. The spin-orbit coupled systems described by this model have potential technological applications from spintronics to quantum computation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-14T00:19:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling", "double version", "massless dirac fermions", "massless birefringent dirac fermions emerge", "persistent spin helix" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
