Description: 
Spin-orbit coupling effects in materials with broken inversion symmetry are responsible for peculiar spin textures. Moreover, ferroelectrics could enable the non-volatile control of the spin degree of freedom through the electrical switching of the spin texture, achievable by acting on the spontaneous polarization [1]. Such functionality holds potential for technological applications exploiting spin effects controlled by voltage pulses. Within this framework, Germanium Telluride may represent a ground-breaking multifunctional material belonging to FErroelectric Rashba SemiConductors [1]. Its ferroelectricity provides the non-volatile state variable able to generate and drive a giant bulk Rashba-type spin-splitting of the electronic bands, while its semiconductivity and CMOS-compatibility allow for the realization of spin-based transistors. In this paper we present the idea of using GeTe has a switchable and tunable source of …
