Magnetization of a homogeneous two dimensional fermion gas with repulsive contact interaction and Rashba spin-orbit potential

The z axis magnetization of a two dimensional electron gas with contact repulsive interaction and in presence of a Rashba potential is computed by means of quantum field theory at second order. A striking effect of the pure Rashba interaction is that of hindering spin alignment along the z direction. Evidence of transition at critical repulsive interaction coupling constant is still found. The degree of magnetization, however, shows a clear dependence on the spin-orbit interaction strength. Furthermore, the transition to magnetized state appears to be smoothed by the presence of the Rashba interaction.
