Right now, the first line of the article says Rashba-Dresselhaus but the rest of the article (along with the title) uses Rashba. Is there any compelling reason to keep Rashba-Dresselhaus in the first sentence? I am a condensed matter physics graduate student and I've never heard anyone call the effect Rashba-Dresselhaus.

I agree, we are lacking already a page for Dresselhaus effect and the use of Rashba-Dresselhaus is misleading. MaoGo (talk) 13:04, 20 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

• Weak anti-localization - can someone please explain why this bullet is kicked out of the main article all the time? i do not understand, the Rashba model is enough to observe this phenomena, so why shouldn't it appear?

The unit-vector z is never defined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.187.40.103 (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Reference 2 has the wrong links generated. e.g. The DOI is for example: http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.040502 Unfortunately I do not know how to correct the reference list.

There are strong assertions here without evidence. This is of course interesting if you stand together at the buffet at a conference, but not plausible for the inclined reader here on Wikipedia. E.g. "While the above naive derivation provides correct analytical form of the Rashba Hamiltonian, it is inconsistent because the effect comes from mixing energy bands (interband matrix elements) rather from intraband term of the naive model."

This is quite important. That whole effect stems (when measured in most setups) from interband mixing, so sth. the (naive) theory does not describe. So if the reader wants to do some research on that, where does he have to look that up? Cit. [14] does not really help here. 62.141.176.2 (talk) 10:26, 19 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
