Magnetoabsorption in InSb quantum-well heterostructures

چکیده
Spin-resolved cyclotron resonance is observed in InSb/AlInSb quantum-well heterostructures. Spin-resolved transitions are identified for fields greater than 2.2 T and confirmed by k ·p modeling. The cyclotron effective mass is calculated for a range of fields up to 11.5 T and is indicative of the strong nonparabolicity in this material. Resonant coupling is observed between the ground and first occupied subbands for normal-incidence excitation. This is explained in the context of conduction band-valance band mixing due to the narrow bandgap. Further resonant coupling is observed via interaction with a hybrid intersubband plasmon-LO phonon mode. This allows a quantitative estimation of the subband spacing and of the electron-phonon interactions in the quantum well.

Optimizing spin-orbit splittings in InSb Majorana nanowires
Semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures represent a promising platform for the detection of Majorana zero modes and subsequently the processing of quantum information using their exotic non-Abelian statistics. Theoretical modeling of such low-dimensional heterostructures is generally based on phenomenological effective models. However, a more microscopic understanding of the band structur...
متن کاملCyclotron resonance in HgTe/CdTe-based heterostructures in high magnetic fields
: Cyclotron resonance study of HgTe/CdTe-based quantum wells with both inverted and normal band structures in quantizing magnetic fields was performed. In semimetallic HgTe quantum wells with inverted band structure, a hole cyclotron resonance line was observed for the first time. In the samples with normal band structure, interband transitions were observed with wide line width due to quantum ...

We present high-field magnetotransport data from a range of 30-nm-wide InSb/InAlSb quantum wells with room-temperature mobilities in excess of 6 m2 V−1 s−1. Samples with the narrowest Landau level broadening exhibit beating patterns in the magnetoresistance attributed to zero-field spin splitting. Rashba parameters are extracted from a range of samples and gate biases using the difference in sp...
