Anomalous magnetoresistance caused by weak localization is calculated with account for inter- and intravalley, spin-orbit and spin-valley scattering processes. It is shown that the anomalous magnetoresistance is described by the expression different from the traditional Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka formula. The reason is that the effect of Rashba splitting gives rise to the spin-orbit vector potential which is not reduced to a spin dephasing only. The developed theory can be applied to heterostructures of graphene with transition metal dichalcogenides.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-12T16:03:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "weak localization", "spin-orbit interaction", "transition metal dichalcogenides", "traditional hikami-larkin-nagaoka formula", "spin-orbit vector potential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
