Effects of Rashba spin splitting and exchange interaction in electron spin resonance in narrow- gap quantum well heterostructures

چکیده
We report an electron spin resonance (ESR) study in n-type narrow-gap quantum well (QW) heterostructures. By using the Hartree-Fock approximation based on the 8 k·p Hamiltonian the many-body theory of the ESR in narrow-gap QWs is developed. We have discovered significant enhancement of the ESR g-factor and its low-magnetic-field divergence in both in asymmetric and symmetric QWs which is caused by the exchange interaction in 2D electron gas (2DEG). The ESR energies estimated for 2DEG in asymmetrical InAs/AlSb QWs are compared with the experimental results obtained by electrically detected ESR technique.

Quantum Interference Control of Ballistic Magneto- resistance in a Magnetic Nanowire Containing Two Atomic- Size Domain Walls
The magnetoresistance of a one-dimensional electron gas in a metallic ferromagnetic nanowire containing two atomic-size domain walls has been investigated in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. The magnetoresistance is calculated in the ballistic regime, within the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. It has been demonstrated that the conductance of a magnetic nanowire with double domain walls...

The high electron mobility spin transistor comprises a 1D or 2D electron gas, obtained from III-V semiconductor heterostructure, with ferromagnetic source and drain contacts. The latter act respectively as a polarizer and as an analyzer for the spin of the electrons, and the gate potential is used to control the spin precession in the channel. After reviewing the main spin dephasing effects exi...
متن کاملSpin-orbit coupling in an In0.52Ga0.48As quantum well with two populated subbands
Structural inversion asymmetry controls the magnitude of Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the electron energy spectrum of a narrow band gap semiconductor. We investigate this effect for a series of two-dimensional electron gases in In0.52Ga0.48As quantum wells, surrounded by In0.52Al0.48As barriers, where either one or two electric subbands are populated. Structural inversion asymmetry does not ex...
متن کاملSpin-density wave in a quantum wire
We present analysis of the interacting quantum wire problem in the presence of magnetic field and spin-orbital interaction. We show that an interesting interplay of Zeeman and spin-orbit terms, facilitated by the electron-electron interaction, results in the spin-density wave (SDW) state when the magnetic field and spin-orbit axes are orthogonal. We explore consequences of the spin-orbit intera...
متن کاملNarrow heavy-hole cyclotron resonances split by the cubic Rashba spin-orbit interaction in strained germanium quantum wells
The spin-orbit interaction was found to split the cyclotron resonance of heavy holes confined in high-mobility, compressively strained germanium quantum wells. The interference between coherent spin-split cyclotron resonances was tracked on picosecond time scales using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Analysis in the time domain, or using a time-frequency decomposition based on the Gabor-Mor...
