Quantum transport in Rashba spin–orbit materials: a review

D Bercioux, P Lucignano - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
In this review article we describe spin-dependent transport in materials with spin–orbit
interaction of Rashba type. We mainly focus on semiconductor heterostructures, however we …

Theory of spin-charge-coupled transport in a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit interactions

AA Burkov, AS Núñez, AH MacDonald - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2004 - APS
We use microscopic linear response theory to derive a set of equations that provide a
complete description of coupled spin and charge diffusive transport in a two-dimensional …

Unified description of Zitterbewegung for spintronic, graphene, and superconducting systems

J Cserti, G Dávid - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2006 - APS
We present a unified treatment of Zitterbewegung phenomena for a wide class of systems
including spintronic, graphene, and superconducting systems. We derive an explicit …

Intrinsic spin Hall effect in the two-dimensional hole gas

BA Bernevig, SC Zhang - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We show that two types of spin-orbit coupling in the 2 dimensional hole gas, with and
without inversion symmetry breaking, contribute to the intrinsic spin-Hall effect. Furthermore …

Emergence of strong tunable linear Rashba spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional hole gases in semiconductor quantum wells

JX Xiong, S Guan, JW Luo, SS Li - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Two-dimensional hole gases (2DHGs) in semiconductor quantum wells are promising
platforms for spintronics and quantum computation, but suffer from the lack of the k-linear …

Spin-Hall transport of heavy holes in III-V semiconductor quantum wells

J Schliemann, D Loss - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2005 - APS
We investigate spin transport of heavy holes in III-V semiconductor quantum wells in the
presence of spin-orbit coupling of the Rashba type due to structure-inversion asymmetry …

Semiclassical time evolution of the holes from Luttinger Hamiltonian

ZF Jiang, RD Li, SC Zhang, WM Liu - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2005 - APS
We study the semiclassical motion of holes by exact numerical solution of the Luttinger
model. The trajectories obtained for the heavy and light holes agree well with the higher …

Rashba effect and magnetic field in semiconductor quantum wires

S Debald, B Kramer - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2005 - APS
We investigate the influence of a perpendicular magnetic field on the spectral and spin
properties of a ballistic quasi-one-dimensional electron system with Rashba effect. The …

Dissipation effects in spin-Hall transport of electrons and holes

J Schliemann, D Loss - Physical Review B, 2004 - APS
We investigate the spin-Hall effect of both electrons and holes in semiconductors using the
Kubo formula in the correct zero-frequency limit taking into account the finite momentum …

Effect of in-plane magnetic field on the spin Hall effect in a Rashba-Dresselhaus system

MC Chang - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2005 - APS
In a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings, there
are two spin-split energy surfaces connected with a degenerate point. Both the energy …
