Abstract
It is shown that the spin–orbit interaction (SOI) produced by the Coulomb fields of charged impurities provides an efficient mechanism for bound states formation. The mechanism is realized in 2D materials with a sufficiently strong Rashba SOI provided that the impurity locally breaks the structure inversion symmetry in the direction normal to the layer.
