In this Letter, we investigate the strain-induced band-gap modulation of both armchair and zigzag graphane nanoribbons based on the first-principles calculations. Within the elastic range, the band gap changes linearly with the uniaxial…
We report on the measurements of spin relaxation in GaAs quasi-one-dimensional mesowires, relying on spin noise spectroscopy, thus adding to the existing body of spin relaxation studies in bulk, two-dimensional and zero dimensional systems.…
Influence of a spiral spin structure on the superconducting (SC) pairing in the most probable active $\gamma$ band of $Sr_2RuO_4$ is studied in the mean field approximation. Such structure with "incommensurate" vector $Q=2\pi(1/3,1/3)$ has…
We report on a theoretical study of the electronic structures of the [111]-oriented, free-standing, zincblende InAs and InP nanowires with hexagonal cross sections by means of an atomistic $sp^{3}s^{*} $, spin-orbit interaction included,…
First-principles calculations of the spin-orbit coupling in graphene with hydrogen adatoms in dense and dilute limits are presented. The chemisorbed hydrogen induces a giant local enhancement of spin-orbit coupling due to $sp^3$…
The hyperfine field from dynamically polarized nuclei in n-GaAs is very spatially inhomogeneous, as the nu- clear polarization process is most efficient near the randomly-distributed donors. Electrons with polarized spins traversing the…
Spin accumulation is a crucial but imprecise concept in spintronics. In metal-based spintronics it is characterized in terms of semiclassical distribution functions. In semiconductors with a strong spin-orbit coupling the spin accumulation…
We report the observation of an anomalous conductance plateau near G = 0.5 G0 (G0 = 2e2/h) in asymmetrically biased AlGaAs/GaAs quantum point contacts (QPCs), with in-plane side gates in the presence of lateral spin-orbit coupling. This is…
An orbitally degenerate two-band Hubbard model is analyzed with inclusion of the Hund's rule induced spin-triplet paired states and their coexistence with magnetic ordering. The so-called statistically consistent Gutzwiller approximation…
We report on the coherent optical excitation of electron spin polarization in the ground state of charged GaAs quantum dots via an intermediate charged exciton (trion) state. Coherent optical fields are used for the creation and detection…
Proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling in graphene has led to the observation of intriguing phenomena like time-reversal invariant $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological phase and spin-orbital filtering effects. An understanding of the effect of…
We study theoretically the spin relaxation rate in quasi-one-dimensional coupled double semiconductor quantum dots. We consider InSb and GaAs-based systems in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction, which causes mixing of…
The spin accumulation in an n-GaAs channel produced by spin extraction into a (Ga,Mn)As contact is measured by cross-sectional imaging of the spin polarization in GaAs. The spin polarization is observed in a 1 \mum thick n-GaAs channel with…
We analytically compute, to linear order in the mass-ratio, the "geodetic" spin precession frequency of a small spinning body orbiting a large (non-spinning) body to the eight-and-a-half post-Newtonian order, thereby extending previous…
Phonon-induced orbital and spin relaxation rates of single electron states in lateral single and double quantum dots are obtained numerically for realistic materials parameters. The rates are calculated as a function of magnetic field and…
The effect of Rashba spin-orbit interaction and anisotropic strain on the electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of artificial graphene-like superlattice composed of InAs-GaAs quantum dots has been considered theoretically. The…
The microscopic structure of spin-orbit fields for the technologically important Fe/GaAs interface is uncovered from first principles. A symmetry based method allows to obtain the spin-orbit fields---both their magnitude and…
We study the effects of the Zeeman term on the de Haas van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation in two-dimensional two-band systems. We found that the Fourier transform amplitudes of the oscillations are not described by the spin reduction factor in…
Understanding and manipulating spin polarization and transport in the vicinity of semiconductor-hosted defects is a problem of present technological and fundamental importance. Here, we use high-field magnetic resonance to monitor the…
The self-consistent Gaussian approximation (SCGA) for classical spin systems described by a completely anisotropic D-component vector model is proposed, which takes into account fluctuations of the molecular field and thus is a next step…
