Persistent spin texture enforced by symmetry
Persistent spin texture (PST) can generate fascinating physics that is promising for spintronics applications but requires non-trivial sample design. Here the authors alternatively propose that a class of materials has intrinsic PST enforced by the nonsymmorphic space group symmetry of the crystal.
