Strained topological insulator spin field effect transistor

Nonballistic spin-field-effect transistor.

We propose a spin-field-effect transistor based on spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba and the Dresselhaus types. Different from earlier proposals, spin transport through our device is tolerant against spin-independent scattering processes. Hence the requirement of strictly ballistic transport can be relaxed. This follows from a unique interplay between the Dresselhaus and the Rashba couplin...

Monte Carlo Simulations of Spin Transport in a Strained Nanoscale InGaAs Field Effect Transistor

Spin-based logic devices could operate at very high speed with very low energy consumption and hold significant promise for quantum information processing and metrology. Here, an in-house developed, experimentally verified, ensemble self-consistent Monte Carlo device simulator with a Bloch equation model using a spin-orbit interaction Hamiltonian accounting for Dresselhaus and Rashba couplings ...

Antiferromagnetic Spin Wave Field-Effect Transistor

In a collinear antiferromagnet with easy-axis anisotropy, symmetry dictates that the spin wave modes must be doubly degenerate. Theses two modes, distinguished by their opposite polarization and available only in antiferromagnets, give rise to a novel degree of freedom to encode and process information. We show that the spin wave polarization can be manipulated by an electric field induced Dzya...

Imperfect two-dimensional topological insulator field-effect transistors

To overcome the challenge of using two-dimensional materials for nanoelectronic devices, we propose two-dimensional topological insulator field-effect transistors that switch based on the modulation of scattering. We model transistors made of two-dimensional topological insulator ribbons accounting for scattering with phonons and imperfections. In the on-state, the Fermi level lies in the bulk ...
