Spin-orbit interaction in semiconductor structures with broken space inversion symmetry leads to spin splitting of electron and hole states even in the absence of magnetic field. We discover that, beyond the Rashba and Dresselhaus…
In semiconductors with inversion asymmetry, spin-orbit coupling gives rise to the well-known Dresselhaus and Rashba effects. If one considers quantum wells with two or more conduction subbands, an additional, intersubband-induced spin-orbit…
Spin splitting of conduction electron states has been analyzed for all possible point symmetries of SiGe quantum well structures. A particular attention is paid to removal of spin degeneracy caused by the rotoinversion asymmetry of a (001)…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) leads to splitting of otherwise spin-degenerate bands in noncentrosymmetric materials, even if time-reversal symmetry is present. While this gives rise to well-known phenomena such as the Rashba and Dresselhaus…
Many textbook physical effects in crystals are enabled by some specific symmetries. In contrast to such "apparent effects", "hidden effect X" refers to the general condition where the nominal global system symmetry would disallow the effect…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can induce spin polarization in nonmagnetic 3D crystals when the inversion symmetry is broken, as manifested by the bulk Rashba (R-1) and Dresselhaus (D-1) effects. We determine that these spin polarization effects…
Hidden Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-splittings in centrosymmetric crystals with subunits (sectors) having non-centrosymmetric symmetries (the R-2 and D-2 effects) have been predicted and observed experimentally, but the microscopic mechanism…
The effective linear coupling coefficient and the total spin-splitting are calculated in Ga- and N- face InGaN quantum wells. Alloy content, geometry, and gate voltage affect an internal field and an electron density distribution in the…
Spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional materials gives rise to a Rashba spin splitting when inversion and mirror symmetries are broken, yet its microscopic origin and quantitative characterization in transition metal dichalcogenides remains…
In a semiconductor, collective excitations of spin textures usually decay rather fast due to D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation. The latter arises from spin-orbit coupling, which induces wave-vector-dependent spin rotations that, in…
The Rashba effect is one of the most striking manifestations of spin-orbit coupling in solids, and provides a cornerstone for the burgeoning field of semiconductor spintronics. It is typically assumed to manifest as a momentum-dependent…
It has long been assumed that the inversion asymmetry-induced Rashba spin splitting in two-dimensional (2D) systems at zero magnetic field is proportional to the electric field that characterizes the inversion asymmetry of the confining…
We investigate the possibility of spin-preserving symmetries due to the interplay of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling in n-doped zinc-blende semiconductor quantum wells of general crystal orientation. It is shown that a conserved…
Engineering and enhancing inversion symmetry breaking in solids is a major goal in condensed matter physics and materials science, as a route to advancing new physics and applications ranging from improved ferroelectrics for memory devices…
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…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in conjunction with broken inversion symmetry acts as a key ingredient for several intriguing quantum phenomena viz. persistent spin textures, topological surface states and Rashba-Dresselhaus (RD) effects. The…
Spin-orbit coupled electronic structure of two representative non-polar half-Heusler alloys, namely 18 electron compound CoZrBi and 8 electron compound SiLiIn have been studied in details. An excursion through the Brillouin zone of these…
In two-dimensional (2D) hole systems the inversion asymmetry induced spin splitting differs remarkably from its familiar counterpart in the conduction band. While the so-called Rashba spin splitting of electron states increases linearly…
Spin splitting of energy bands can be induced by relativistic spin-orbit interactions in materials without inversion symmetry. Whereas polar space group symmetries permit Rashba (R-1) spin splitting with helical spin textures in momentum…
A theory of the circular photogalvanic effect caused by spin splitting in quantum wells is developed. Direct interband transitions between the hole and electron size-quantized subbands are considered. The photocurrent excitation spectrum is…
