Electron g-factor in nanostructures: continuum media and atomistic approach

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2020-10-26 v2

Abstract

We report studies of kk-dependent Land\'e gg-factor, performed by both continuous media approximation k.p method, and atomistic tight-binding sp3^3d5^5s^* approach. We propose an effective, mesoscopic model for InAs that we are able to successfully compare with atomistic calculations, for both very small and very large nanostructures, with a number of atoms reaching over 60 million. Finally, for nanostructure dimensions corresponding to near-zero gg-factor we report electron spin states anti-crossing as a function of system size, despite no shape-anisotropy nor strain effects included, and merely due to breaking of atomistic symmetry of cation/anion planes constituting the system.
