Anisotropic modification of the effective hole g factor by electrostatic confinement.

چکیده
We investigate effects of lateral confinement on spin splitting of energy levels in 2D hole gases grown on [311] GaAs. We found that lateral confinement enhances anisotropy of spin splitting relative to the 2D gas for both confining directions. Unexpectedly, the effective g factor does not depend on the 1D energy level number N for B parallel[01[over ]1] while it has strong N dependence for B parallel[2[over ]33]. Apart from quantitative difference in the spin splitting of energy levels for the two orthogonal confinement directions, we also report qualitative differences in the appearance of spin-split plateaus, with nonquantized plateaus observed only for the confinement in the [01[over ]1] direction. In our samples we can clearly associate the difference with anisotropy of spin-orbit interactions.

Determination of Refractive Index and Confinement Losses in Photonic Crystal Fibers Using FDFD Method: A Comparative Analysis
In this paper, we present a comparative numerical analysis to determine the refractive index of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) by using FDFD method and used the results to evaluate the confinement losses of PCFs by considering the effects of air-hole rings in the cladding. It is shown that by increasing the wavelength, the imaginary part of refraction index rises, resulting in increase of conf...
متن کاملElectronic and spin properties of hole point contacts
We have studied theoretically the effect of a tuneable lateral confinement on two-dimensional hole systems realised in III-V semiconductor heterostructures. Based on the 4 × 4 Luttinger description of the valence band, we have calculated quasi-onedimensional (quasi-1D) hole subband energies and anisotropic Landé g-factors. Confinement-induced band mixing results in the possibility to manipulate...

متن کاملOptical Gaps and Screening in Quantum Dots
Semiconductor structures with reduced dimensionality often have optical properties that are quite different than the optical properties of crystalline matter. For example, silicon has a band gap of about 1.2 eV in the crystalline state whereas nanocrystalline dots of silicon have “band gaps” of ∼ 2 eV or larger. Until recently, the modification of the gap from quantum confinement has not been e...
