Rashba spin-orbit coupling and spin relaxation in silicon quantum wells
Silicon is a leading candidate material for spin-based devices, and two-dimensional electron gases s2DEGsd formed in silicon heterostructures have been proposed for both spin transport and quantum dot quantum computing applications. The key parameter for these applications is the spin relaxation time. Here we apply the theory of D’yakonov and Perel’ sDPd to calculate the electron spin resonance...
متن کاملCollective excitations in asymmetric parabolic quantum wells
We study within the linear response theory the far-infrared optical absorption spectrum and the collective excitations of an asymmetric, wide parabolic AlxGa1−xAs quantum well, consisting of two half-parabolas of different curvatures, in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. We employ a self-consistent-field approach in the local-density approximation using parameter values of a recent ex...
متن کاملRole of the spin-orbit interaction in elastic scattering of electrons in quantum wells
We present a theoretical study of the spin-dependent electron scattering from screened impurities in III–V semiconductor quantum wells. The effective one band Hamiltonian and the Rashba spin-orbit interaction are used. We calculated the Mott scattering cross-section and the Sherman function for two-dimensional electrons spin-polarized parallel to the z-axis (direction of structure growth). We h...
متن کاملQuantum anomalous Hall phase in (001) double-perovskite monolayers via intersite spin-orbit coupling
Using tight-binding models and first-principles calculations, we demonstrate the possibility to achieve a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) phase on a two-dimensional square lattice, which can be realized in monolayers of double perovskites. We show that effective intersite spin-orbit coupling between eg orbitals can be induced perturbatively, giving rise to a QAH state. Moreover, the effective spin...
متن کاملSpin–orbit splittings in Si/SiGe quantum wells: from ideal Si membranes to realistic heterostructures
We present a calculation of the wavevector-dependent subband level splitting from spin–orbit coupling in Si/SiGe quantum wells. We first use the effective-mass approach, where the splittings are parameterized by separating contributions from the Rashba and Dresselhaus terms. We then determine the inversion asymmetry parameters by fitting tight-binding numerical results obtained using the quanti...
