Spin-orbit interaction induced anisotropic property in interacting quantum wires
: We investigate theoretically the ground state and transport property of electrons in interacting quantum wires (QWs) oriented along different crystallographic directions in (001) and (110) planes in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) and Dresselhaus SOI (DSOI). The electron ground state can cross over different phases, e.g., spin density wave, charge density wave, single...
متن کاملSpin-orbit interaction in symmetric wells with two subbands.
We investigate the spin-orbit (SO) interaction in two-dimensional electron gases in quantum wells with two subbands. From the 8x8 Kane model, we derive a new intersubband-induced SO term which resembles the functional form of the Rashba SO but is nonzero even in symmetric structures. This follows from the distinct parity of the confined states (even or odd) which obliterates the need for asymme...
متن کاملRole of the spin-orbit interaction in elastic scattering of electrons in quantum wells
We present a theoretical study of the spin-dependent electron scattering from screened impurities in III–V semiconductor quantum wells. The effective one band Hamiltonian and the Rashba spin-orbit interaction are used. We calculated the Mott scattering cross-section and the Sherman function for two-dimensional electrons spin-polarized parallel to the z-axis (direction of structure growth). We h...
متن کاملSpin-orbit-assisted electron-phonon interaction and the magnetophonon resonance in semiconductor quantum wells
We introduce a spin-orbit assisted electron-phonon e-ph coupling mechanism for carriers in semiconductor quantum wells and predict qualitatively the form and shape of anticrossings between the cyclotron resonance CR and optical LO and TO phonons. Since this e-ph interaction involves the electron spin it makes the predicted TO-CR anticrossing dependent on the filling factor and therefore on the ...
متن کاملSpin conversion induced by spin-orbit interaction in positronium collisions
The positronium spin conversion reaction induced by spin-orbit interaction is investigated. We obtain the reaction rates during positronium-Xe and positronium-Kr collisions by using the Zeeman mixing of positronium states. At thermal energies corresponding to room temperature, the reaction rate for spin conversion due to spin-orbit interaction is found to be almost twice that for the positroniu...
