Control of the spin geometric phase in semiconductor quantum rings
Since the formulation of the geometric phase by Berry, its relevance has been demonstrated in a large variety of physical systems. However, a geometric phase of the most fundamental spin-1/2 system, the electron spin, has not been observed directly and controlled independently from dynamical phases. Here we report experimental evidence on the manipulation of an electron spin through a purely ge...
متن کاملPersistent spin currents in mesoscopic Heisenberg rings.
We show that at low temperatures T an inhomogeneous radial magnetic field with magnitude B gives rise to a persistent magnetization current around a mesoscopic ferromagnetic Heisenberg ring. Under optimal conditions, this spin current can be as large as gmicro(B)(T/ variant Planck's over 2pi )exp([-2pi(gmicro(B)B/delta)(1/2)], as obtained from leading-order spin-wave theory. Here g is the gyrom...
متن کاملSpin rings in bistable planar semiconductor microcavities.
A remarkable feature of exciton-polaritons is the strongly spin-dependent polariton-polariton interaction, which has been predicted to result in the formation of spin rings in real space [Shelykh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 116401 (2008)]. Here we experimentally demonstrate the spin bistability of exciton polaritons in an InGaAs-based semiconductor microcavity under resonant optical pumping. We obse...
متن کاملPersistent spin currents in mesoscopic Haldane-gap spin rings
Using a modified spin-wave approach, we show that in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field or an in-plane inhomogeneous electric field a mesoscopic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg ring with integer spin ~i.e., a Haldane-gap system! exhibits a persistent circulating spin current. Due to quantum fluctuations the current has a finite limit on the order of (2gmB)c/L at zero temperature, prov...
متن کاملSpin-orbit Interaction and Energy States in Nanoscale Semiconductor Quantum Rings
We study the e ect of spin-orbit iteration on the electron energy spectra in tree-dimensional (3D) nanoscale semiconductor quantum rings. Ultrasmall InAs quantum ring embedded in GaAs matrix is numerically solved with the e ective one electronic band Hamiltonian, the energyand position-dependent electron e ective mass approximation, and the spin-dependent Ben Daniel-Duke boundary conditions. Th...
