Crossover from diffusive to non-diffusive dynamics in the two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

Abstract

We present the calculation of the density matrix response function of the two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit interaction, which is applicable in a wide range of parameters covering the diffusive and non-diffusive, the dirty and the clean limits. A description of the crossover between the different regimes is thus provided as well. On the basis of the derived microscopic expressions we study the propagating charge and spin-polarization modes in the clean, non-diffusive regime, which is accessible in the modern experiments.
