Spin-momentum Locking

Spin-Momentum Locking is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the spin orientation of an electron is intrinsically correlated with its linear momentum direction, such that the spin state is constrained to a specific helicity relative to the electron’s propagation direction, arising from strong spin-orbit coupling in non-centrosymmetric systems or topological materials.
