Published in PRB: Symmetry breaking of the persistent spin helix in quantum transport
We introduce a new spin quantization axis via the persistent spin helix, revealing a full decoupling of the Cooperon triplet scattering modes as well as decoupled Landau levels. This makes it possible to derive a closed-form expression for the weak localization magnetoconductivity, thus providing a new paradigm of localization in the weakly-broken spin symmetry regime.
