Electron-beam formation from spin-orbit interactions in zinc-blende semiconductor quantum wells.
We find a dramatic enhancement of electron propagation along a narrow range of real-space angles from an isotropic source in a two-dimensional quantum well made from a zinc-blende semiconductor. This "electron-beam" formation is caused by the interplay between spin-orbit interaction originating from a perpendicular electric field to the quantum well and the intrinsic spin-orbit field of the zin...
متن کاملWeak (anti)localization in tubular semiconductor nanowires with spin-orbit coupling
We compute analytically the weak (anti)localization correction to the Drude conductivity for electrons in tubular semiconductor systems of zinc-blende type. We include linear Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and compare wires of standard growth directions 〈100〉, 〈111〉, and 〈110〉. The motion on the quasi-twodimensional surface is considered diffusive in both directions: transvers...
متن کاملMagnetoelectric effects in superconducting nanowires with Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
Recent experiments in semiconductor nanowires with a spin-orbit coupling and proximity-induced superconductivity exhibit signatures of Majorana bound states predicted to exist in the topological phase. In this Letter we predict that these nanowire systems exhibit unconventional magnetoelectric effects showing a sharp crossover behavior at the topological phase transition. We find that magnetic ...
متن کاملMajorana fermions in superconducting nanowires without spin-orbit coupling
We study nanowires with proximity-induced s-wave superconducting pairing in an external magnetic field that rotates along the wire. Such a system is equivalent to nanowires with Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling, with strength proportional to the derivative of the field angle. For realistic parameters, we demonstrate that a set of permanent magnets can bring a nearby nanowire into the topological...
متن کاملEnhanced spin–orbit coupling in core/shell nanowires
The spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in semiconductors is strongly influenced by structural asymmetries, as prominently observed in bulk crystal structures that lack inversion symmetry. Here we study an additional effect on the SOC: the asymmetry induced by the large interface area between a nanowire core and its surrounding shell. Our experiments on purely wurtzite GaAs/AlGaAs core/shell nanowires de...
