Persistent Spin Textures in Semiconductor Nanostructures
Device concepts in semiconductor spintronics make long spin lifetimes desirable, and the requirements put on spin control by schemes of quantum information processing are even more demanding. Unfortunately, due to spin-orbit coupling electron spins in semiconductors are generically subject to rather fast decoherence. In two-dimensional quantum wells made of zinc-blende semiconductors, however, ...
متن کاملSpin–orbit induced electronic spin separation in semiconductor nanostructures
The demonstration of quantized spin splitting by Stern and Gerlach is one of the most important experiments in modern physics. Their discovery was the precursor of recent developments in spin-based technologies. Although electrical spin separation of charged particles is fundamental in spintronics, in non-uniform magnetic fields it has been difficult to separate the spin states of charged parti...
متن کاملSingle-Electron-Spin Measurements in Si-Based Semiconductor Nanostructures
In this chapter, we review the experimental efforts that focus on the measurement of single-electron spins in two particular Si-based semiconductor nanostructure systems. First, we describe experiments in a real transistor structure (i.e., a submicrometer commercial Si field effect transistor) in which the source/drain channel is used to electrically detect the spin states of an adjacent single...
متن کاملSpin entanglement generation and detection in semiconductor nanostructures
Entanglement, viz. the non-separability of quantum states, is a fundamental prediction of quantum mechanics, which is at odds with the classical perception of reality. Furthermore, it constitutes a resource for quantum computation and quantum communication. Electronic degrees of freedom in nanostructures – in particular the spin – constitute promising candidates to implement quantum information...
متن کاملNonequilibrium spin Hall accumulation in ballistic semiconductor nanostructures.
We demonstrate that the flow of a longitudinal unpolarized current through a ballistic two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling will induce a nonequilibrium spin accumulation which has opposite signs for the two lateral edges and is, therefore, the principal observable signature of the spin Hall effect in two-probe semiconductor nanostructures. The magnitude of its out-of-pl...
