“…Interestingly, this simple phenomenological modification better reproduces the anisotropies and the electric field value at the isotropic point. We ascribe the observed discrepancies to the limitation of the model in which only a simple scattering model is taken into account and other spin relaxation processes are not considered such as the QW width and electric field fluctuations which could induce, respectively, spin relaxation through the spatial variation of the confinement energy [27] and produce an inhomogeneous Rashba contribution [28,29]. Moreover, we have neglected the small piezoelectric field present at V = 0 due to the slight lattice mismatch between GaAs and Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As.…”
