Spin-orbit coupling is a source of strong spin dephasing in two- and three-dimensional semiconducting systems. We report that spin dephasing in a two-dimensional electron gas can be suppressed by introducing a quantum point contact.…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a relativistic effect, where an electron moving in an electric field experiences an effective magnetic field in its rest frame. In crystals without inversion symmetry, it lifts the spin degeneracy and leads to…
