Harper - Hofstadter problem for 2 D electron gas with k - linear Rashba spin - orbit coupling
– The Harper-Hofstadter problem for two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling subject to periodic potential and perpendicular magnetic field is studied analytically and numerically. The butterfly-like energy spectrum, spinor wave functions as well as the spin density and average spin polarization are calculated for actual parameters of semiconductor structure. Our calculation...
متن کاملAnisotropic current-induced spin accumulation in the two-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit coupling
We investigate the magnetoelectric (or inverse spin-galvanic) effect in the two dimensional electron gases with both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling using an exact solution of the Boltzmann equation for electron spin and momentum. The spin response to an in-plane electric field turns out to be highly anisotropic while the usual charge conductivity remains isotropic, contrary to earli...
متن کاملSpin-Hall conductivity of a spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit interaction and magnetic impurities
Abstract The Kubo formula is used to calculate the spin-Hall conductivity σsH in a spin-polarized twodimensional electron system with Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction. As in the case of the unpolarized electron system, σsH is entirely determined by states at the Fermi level, a property that maintains in the presence of magnetic impurities. In the clean limit, the spin-Hall conductivity decrea...
متن کاملRashba effect within the coherent scattering formalism
The influence of spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional systems is investigated within the framework of the Landauer-Büttiker coherent scattering formalism. After a short review of the features of spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional electron gases, we define the creation and annihilation operators for the stationary states of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling Hamiltonian and use them to calcula...
متن کاملUnconventional dc Transport in Rashba Electron Gases.
We discuss the transport properties of a disordered two-dimensional electron gas with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show that in the high-density regime where the Fermi energy overcomes the energy associated with spin-orbit coupling, dc transport is accurately described by a standard Drude's law, due to a nontrivial compensation between the suppression of backscattering and the relativi...
