What is the effect of spin-orbit interaction to the band structure?
I have a question regarding the spin-orbit interaction in zinc blend materials. As far as I understood, the split-off valence band (VB) forms as a result of this interaction, and it is a shift in ...

Why spin orbit coupling leads to band splitting?
For a crystal with time-reversal symmetry, its band structure is double degenerate. When we turn on SOC, the band splits except for special points where Kramers' theorem applies.
How should I ...
