Understanding Spin-Orbit Coupling in 3d Transition-Metal Oxides

The core of solid-state physics is band theory, which classifies the crystalline world into two categories: “insulators” and “conductors”. Then, to fill in the gaps for semiconductor applications at room temperature, the concept of “semiconductors” was added. This is now common knowledge taught in high schools, marking the establishment of band theory.^_^. Of course, band … Read more

Most people in society would agree that among the major disciplines of natural sciences, mathematics and physics are the most authoritative, precise, and beautiful. The experience of authority is not easy to grasp, but as time spent in these fields increases, the understanding deepens. The authority of physics is reflected in the simplicity, effectiveness, and … Read more
