Cooling Torsional Nanomechanical Vibration by Spin-Orbit Interactions
We propose and study a spin-orbit interaction based mechanism to actively cool down the torsional vibration of a nanomechanical resonator made by semiconductor materials. We show that the spinorbit interactions of electrons can induce a coherent coupling between the electron spins and the torsional modes of nanomechanical vibration. This coherent coupling leads to an active cooling for the tors...
متن کاملSpin-vibration interaction in a nanomechanical spin-valve
We study spin-dependent transport in a suspended carbon nanotube quantum dot in contact with two ferromagnetic leads and with the dot’s spin coupled to the flexural modes. We consider a spinvibrational interaction inducing spin-flip processes between the two Zeeman levels of the dot due to spin-orbit interaction or a magnetic field gradient. The inelastic vibration-assisted spin-flips give rise...
متن کاملSymmetry, spin-orbit interactions, and spin anisotropies.
The origins of anisotropy in the effective spin Hamiltonian, describing the ground manifold of Hubbard models with spin-orbit interactions, are critically discussed. For tetragonal symmetry, we show exactly that spin anisotropy can arise only if one includes both spin-orbit and Coulomb exchange interactions. For lower symmetries, additional anisotropies arise from terms which were hitherto negl...
متن کاملSpin–orbit interactions of light
NATURE PHOTONICS | VOL 9 | DECEMBER 2015 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics Light consists of electromagnetic waves that oscillate in time and propagate in space. Scalar waves are described by their intensity and phase distributions. These are the spatial (orbital) degrees of freedom common to all types of waves, both classical and quantum. In particular, a localized intensity distribution determ...
متن کاملSpin-orbit-induced strong coupling of a single spin to a nanomechanical resonator.
We theoretically investigate the deflection-induced coupling of an electron spin to vibrational motion due to spin-orbit coupling in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots. Our estimates indicate that, with current capabilities, a quantum dot with an odd number of electrons can serve as a realization of the Jaynes-Cummings model of quantum electrodynamics in the strong-coupling regime. A quanti...
