Abstract

We discuss the electronic properties of graphene and graphene nanoribbons including ‘pseudo-Rashba’ spin–orbit coupling. After summarizing the bulk properties of massless and massive Dirac particles, we first analyze the scattering behavior close to an infinite mass and zigzag boundary. For low energies, we observe strong deviations from the usual spin-conserving behavior at high energies such as ...
