Modulated Rashba interaction in a quantum wire: Spin and charge dynamics

Abstract: It was recently shown that a spatially modulated Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a quantum wire drives a transition from a metallic to an insulating state when the wave number of the modulation becomes commensurate with the Fermi wave length of the electrons in the wire [G. I. Japaridze et al., Phys. Rev. B 80 041308(R) (2009)]. On basis of experimental data from a gated InAs heterostructure it was suggested that the effect may be put to practical use in a future spin transistor design. In the present article we… Show more

“…One should also consider that our analysis is based on a simple one-band model, while the SOC in the 2DEG in the LAO/STO involves several bands [14,31,32]. Of course, the basic ideas of this work could be tested and hopefully implemented in other, perhaps simpler, systems involving heterostructures of semiconductors with modulated Rashba SOC which have been already discussed in the literature in different contexts [33][34][35].…”

“…Datta e Das [4] propuseram um modelo de transistor que utiliza a spintrônica, que consiste em uma técnica em que os elétrons com spin polarizados são injetados a partir de um emissor ferromagnético dentro de um fio quântico modelado em uma heteroestrutura semicondutora que está sujeito a um campo externo. Porém, essa técnica de injeção de spin não tem sido eficiente para todas as propriedades esperadas desse transistor intitulado Datta-Das [5], e novas técnicas de injeção de spins tem sido estudadas [6] [7].…”

“…al. [5] propuseram um modelo de dispositivo controlável por uma modulação externa, em que se dispensa a necessidade de injetar elétrons com spin polarizados. Verificou-se que o acoplamento spin-órbita Rashba suavemente modulado em um fio quântico impulsiona uma transição de fase de metal para isolante, quando o número de onda da modulação torna-se proporcional ao comprimento de onda de Fermi no fio.…”
