The Bloch catalytic factor was introduced to investigate the varying interactions between the direction of electron spin and the orbital motion for different ‘d’ elements. The Bloch-inspired spin-orbit interaction (SOI) was designed and tested under the tunable longitudinal and transverse magnetizations. Some of the results correspond to recent experiments. The prevailing SOI in each case is dependent on the splitting of the 4d states.application/pdfQC PhysicsArticle
