Zeeman splitting in ballistic hole quantum wires.

چکیده
We have studied the Zeeman splitting in ballistic hole quantum wires formed in a (311)A quantum well by surface gate confinement. Transport measurements clearly show lifting of the spin degeneracy and crossings of the subbands when an in-plane magnetic field B is applied parallel to the wire. When B is oriented perpendicular to the wire, no spin splitting is discernible up to B = 8.8 T. The observed large Zeeman splitting anisotropy in our hole quantum wires demonstrates the importance of quantum confinement for spin splitting in nanostructures with strong spin-orbit coupling.

Electronic 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 کامل0.7 Structure and zero bias anomaly in ballistic hole quantum wires.
We study the anomalous conductance plateau around G=0.7(2e2/h) and the zero bias anomaly in ballistic hole quantum wires with respect to in-plane magnetic fields applied parallel B parallel and perpendicular B perpendicular to the quantum wire. As seen in electron quantum wires, the magnetic fields shift the 0.7 structure down to G=0.5(2e2/h) and simultaneously quench the zero bias anomaly. How...
متن کاملConductance in quantum wires by three quantum dots arrays
A noninteracting quantum-dot arrays side coupled to a quantum wire is studied. Transport through the quantum wire is investigated by using a noninteracting Anderson tunneling Hamiltonian. The conductance at zero temperature develops an oscillating band with resonances and antiresonances due to constructive and destructive interference in the ballistic channel, respectively. Moreover, we have fo...

متن کاملQuantum-mechanical spin states and Zeeman-level diagrams of the positively charged exciton
We consider the spin interaction in the Hamiltonian for the positively charged exciton X, determining the spin states and Zeeman-level diagrams for X in which the heavyand light-hole bands are degenerate and nondegenerate. The former case results in an X with quintuplet and septet states in addition to the singlet and triplet states that are also observed for the negatively charged exciton X. W...
