Semiclassical spin coherent state method in the weak spin-orbit coupling limit
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply the semiclassical spin coherent state method for the density of states by Pletyukhov et al. (2002) in the weak spin-orbit coupling limit and recover the modulation factor in the semiclassical trace formula found by Bolte and Keppeler (1998, 1999).

Semiclassical propagation of coherent states with spin-orbit interaction
We study semiclassical approximations to the time evolution of coherent states for general spin-orbit coupling problems in two different semiclassical scenarios: The limit ~ → 0 is first taken with fixed spin quantum number s and then with ~s held constant. In these two cases different classical spin-orbit dynamics emerge. We prove that a coherent state propagated with a suitable classical dyna...
متن کاملSemiclassical theory of spin - orbit interaction in the extended phase space
We consider the semiclassical theory in a joint phase space of spin and orbital degrees of freedom. The method is developed from the path integrals using the spincoherent-state representation, and yields the trace formula for the density of states. We discuss special cases, such as weak and strong spin-orbit coupling, and relate the present theory to the earlier approaches.

متن کاملSemiclassical trace formulae for systems with spin - orbit interactions : successes and limitations of present approaches
We discuss the semiclassical approaches for describing systems with spin-orbit interactions by Little-We use these methods to derive trace formulae for several two-and three-dimensional model systems, and exhibit their successes and limitations. We discuss, in particular, also the mode conversion problem that arises in the strong-coupling limit.
متن کاملSpin dephasing in quantum wires
We study high-field spin transport in a quantum wire using a semiclassical approach. Spin dephasing (or spin depolarization) in the wire is caused by D’yakonov-Perel’ relaxation associated with bulk inversion asymmetry (Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling) and structural inversion asymmetry (Rashba spin-orbit coupling). The depolarization rate is found to depend strongly on the initial polarization...
