The exploitation of the Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) has recently opened new directions for the

development of spintronics. My talk is on SOC-induced effects in 2D systems with a special

1) Conversion between spin and charge currents at Rashba, toplogical insulator and oxide

2) Magnetic skyrmions induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interactions (DMI) at

interfaces, stabilization of small skyrmions at room temperature in multilayers.
