The Rashba effect refers to a phenomenon in condensed matter physics where spin-orbit coupling leads to a splitting of the electronic states in a material with a structure that lacks inversion symmetry. This effect is particularly significant in two-dimensional systems and can have important implications for spintronics, a field of technology that seeks to utilize the intrinsic spin of electrons, in addition to their charge, for information processing.
