Semiconductor Rashba nanowires are quasi-one dimensional systems that have large spin-orbit (SO) coupling arising from a broken inversion symmetry due to an external electric field. There exist parametrized multiband models that can…
We use magnetoconductance measurements in dual-gated InSb nanowire devices together with a theoretical analysis of weak antilocalization to accurately extract spin-orbit strength. In particular, we show that magnetoconductance in our…
We study the effects of spin-orbit coupling on the magnetoconductivity in diffusive cylindrical semiconductor nanowires. Following up on our former study on tubular semiconductor nanowires, we focus in this paper on nanowire systems where…
Semiconductor nanowires based on non-nitride III-V compounds can be synthesized under certain growth conditions to favor the appearance of wurtzite crystal phase. Despite the reports in literature of ab initio band structures for these…
Spin-orbit interaction accounts for the coupling of momentum and spin degrees of freedom of electrons and holes in semiconductor materials. In quantum information processing, it allows for electrical control of spin states and for the…
The experimental assessment of the strength ($\alpha_R$) of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling is rather indirect and involves the measurement of the spin relaxation length from magnetotransport, together with a model of weak antilocalization.…
We use the $\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{p}$ theory and the envelope function approach to evaluate the Rashba spin-orbit coupling induced in a semiconductor nanowire by a magnetic field at different orientations, taking explicitely into account…
We develop an InAs nanowire gate-all-around field-effect transistor using a transparent conductive zinc oxide (ZnO) gate electrode, which is in-situ atomic layer deposited after growth of gate insulator of Al2O3. We perform…
We study theoretically the spin-orbit interaction of low-energy electrons in semiconducting nanowires with a zinc-blende lattice. The effective Dresselhaus term is derived for various growth directions, including <11(-2)>-oriented…
The structural inversion asymmetry-induced spin-orbit interaction of conduction band electrons in zinc-blende and wurtzite semiconductor structures is analysed allowing for a three-dimensional (3D) character of the external electric field…
The combination of strong spin-orbit coupling, large $g$-factors, and the coupling to a superconductor can be used to create a topologically protected state in a semiconductor nanowire. Here we report on growth and characterization of…
By means the envelope function approximation, 8-band Kane model and a finite-difference scheme with the coordinate space discretization, we numerically performed calculations of the spin-orbit coupling parameters for 2D electron gas…
We employ first-principles techniques tailored to properly describe semiconductors (modified Becke-Johnson potential added to the exchange-correlation functional), to obtain the electronic band structures of both the zinc-blende and…
We determine theoretically the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the magnetic excitation spectrum of itinerant multi-orbital systems, with specific application to iron-based superconductors. Our microscopic model includes a realistic…
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^{*} $, spin-orbit interaction included,…
We use spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES) combined with polarization-variable laser and investigate the spin-orbit coupling effect under interband hybridization of Rashba spin-split states for the surface alloys…
InSb$_{1-x}$As$_{x}$ is a promising material system for exploration of topological superconductivity in hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices due to large effective g-factor and enhanced spin-orbit coupling when compared to binary…
The so-called neutron spin resonance consists of a prominent enhancement of the magnetic response at a particular energy and momentum transfer upon entering the superconducting state of unconventional superconductors. In the case of…
We investigate the influence of spin-orbit coupling $\lambda$ in strongly-correlated multiorbital systems that we describe by a three-orbital Hubbard-Kanamori model on a Bethe lattice. We solve the problem at all integer fillings $N$ with…
Spin-orbit coupling effects are studied in quantum dots in InSb, a narrow-gap material. Competition between different Rashba and Dresselhaus terms is shown to produce wholesale changes in the spectrum. The large (and negative) $g$-factor…
