We investigate the effects of spin-momentum locking on the interference and diffraction patterns due to a double- or single-slit in an electronic Gedankenexperiment. We show that the inclusion of the spin-degree-of-freedom, when coupled to the motion direction of the carrier—a typical situation that occurs in systems with spin–orbit interaction—leads to a modification of the interference and diffraction patterns that depend on the geometrical parameters of the system.

自旋动量锁定的电子波粒子对偶

我们研究了在电子Gedanken实验中由于双缝或单缝导致的自旋动量锁定对干涉和衍射图样的影响。我们表明，当自旋自由度与载波的运动方向耦合时（在具有自旋-轨道相互作用的系统中发生的典型情况），会导致干扰和衍射图样的修正，根据系统的几何参数。
