We present experiments on the tuning of the spin-orbit interaction in a two-dimensional electron gas in an asymmetric InAs/AlSb quantum well using a gate. The observed dependence of the spin splitting energy on the electron density can be attributed solely to the change in the Fermi wave vector. The spin-orbit interaction parameter (a'0.6310 eV m) as such does not change significantly with elec...

We present a method for the analytical evaluation of the molecular energy gradient for a semiempirical configuration interaction (CI) wavefunction, taking into account the spin-orbit coupling. We show how to proceed in the simplest case where all the wavefunctions belonging to the CI subspace considered are mixed by the spin-orbit interaction, and we develop an original procedure for the more c...

We study the effect of the spin-orbit interaction on quantum gate operations based on the spin exchange coupling where the qubit is represented by the electron spin in a quantum dot or a similar nanostructure. Our main result is the exact cancellation of the spin-orbit effects in the sequence producing the quantum XOR gate for the ideal case where the pulse shapes of the exchange and spin-orbit...

A key concept in the emerging field of spintronics is the gate voltage or electric field control of spin precession via the effective magnetic field generated by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Here, we demonstrate the generation and tuning of electric field induced Rashba spin-orbit interaction in InAs nanowires where a strong electric field is created by either a double gate or a solid ele...

Abstract In this paper, we study the generalized order- Jacobsthal sequences modulo for and the generalized order-k Jacobsthal-Padovan sequence modulo for . Also, we define the generalized order-k Jacobsthal orbit of a k-generator group for and the generalized order-k Jacobsthal-Padovan orbit a k-generator group for . Furthermore, we obtain the lengths of the periods of the generalized order-3 ...

We discuss the problem of spin-orbit interaction in a two-dimensional chaotic or diffusive quantum dot in the presence of exchange correlations. Spin-orbit scattering breaks spin rotation invariance, and in the crossover regime between different symmetries of the spin-orbit coupling, the problem has no closed solution. A conventional choice of a many-particle basis in a numerical diagonalizatio...

The electron spin properties are promising for future spin-driven applications. Silicon, the major material of microelectronics, also appears to be a perfect material for spintronic applications. The peculiarities of the subband structure and details of the spin propagation in ultra-thin silicon films in presence of the spin-orbit interaction and strain are investigated. The application of shea...

We study the applicability of beam-beam deflection techniques as a tuning tool for asymmetric B factories, focusing on PEP-II as an example. Assuming that the closed orbits of the two beams are separated vertically at the interaction point by a local orbit bump that is nominally closed, we calculate the residual beam orbit distortions due to the beam-beam interaction. Difference orbit measureme...

The effects of spin-orbit coupling on the two-electron spectra in lateral coupled quantum dots are investigated analytically and numerically. It is demonstrated that in the absence of magnetic field, the exchange interaction is practically unaffected by spin-orbit coupling, for any interdot coupling, boosting prospects for spin-based quantum computing. The anisotropic exchange appears at finite...
