Out-of-plane spin polarization from in-plane electric and magnetic fields.

چکیده
We show that the joint effect of spin-orbit and magnetic fields leads to a spin polarization perpendicular to the plane of a homogeneous two-dimensional electron system with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and in-plane parallel dc magnetic and electric fields, for angle-dependent impurity scattering or nonparabolic energy spectrum, while only in-plane polarization persists for simplified models. We derive Bloch equations, describing the main features of recent experiments, including the magnetic field dependence of static and dynamic responses.

Control of the polarization flop direction in multiferroic RMnO3 (R = Tb, Dy) by a tilted magnetic field
In spin-driven ferroelectrics, the electric polarization is often modified by the application of a magnetic field. RMnO3 (R = Tb, Dy) is a well known multiferroic with electric polarization along the c-axis induced by the cycloidal ordering of Mn spin moments in the bc plane, which can be explained by the inverse effect of Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction. RMnO3 exhibits an electric-polarizatio...
متن کاملElectric-Field-Induced Triplet to Singlet Transition in Size-2 Trigonal Zigzag Graphene Nanoflake
Using Hartree-Fock Su-Sheriffer-Heeger (HF-SSH) model, we have studied the dependence of the energies of the ground (magnetic triplet state) and the first exited (nonmagnetic singlet state) states of the size-2 trigonal zigzag graphene nanoflake (size-2 NF) on the intensity of an external in plane static electric field at zero temperature. We identify a transition from the magnetic triplet stat...
متن کاملMesoscopic fluctuations in the spin-electric susceptibility due to Rashba spin-orbit interaction.
We investigate mesoscopic fluctuations in the spin polarization generated by a static electric field and by Rashba spin-orbit interaction in a disordered 2D electron gas. In a diagrammatic approach we find that the out-of-plane polarization--while being zero for self-averaging systems--exhibits large sample-to-sample fluctuations which are shown to be well within experimental reach. We evaluate...
متن کاملCurrent-induced polarization and the spin Hall effect at room temperature.
Electrically induced electron spin polarization is imaged in n-type ZnSe epilayers using Kerr rotation spectroscopy. Despite no evidence for an electrically induced internal magnetic field, current-induced in-plane spin polarization is observed with characteristic spin lifetimes that decrease with doping density. The spin Hall effect is also observed, indicated by an electrically induced out-of...
متن کاملمطالعه ابتدا به ساکن بلور CeIn3 در فشارهای بالا
Electric field gradients (EFG’s) at the In sites and spin magnetic moments at the Ce sites were calculated for the case of solid CeIn3. The calculations were performed by increasing pressure gradually from -5 to +22 GPa within the density functional theory (DFT) using the augmented plane waves plus local orbital (APW+lo) method employing the well-known PBE-GGA+U and WC-GGA+U schemes. The resu...
