The observation of ferromagnetism in magnetic ion doped II–VI diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) and oxides, and later in (Ga, Mn) As materials has inspired a great …

We review the spin splitting of subband energies caused by bulk and structure inversion
asymmetries in semiconductor III–V and II–VI heterostructures. We present both theoretical …

The three volumes of this handbook treat the fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology
of nitride semiconductors with an extraordinary clarity and depth. They present all the …

A consequence of relativity is that in the presence of an electric field, the spin and
momentum states of an electron can be coupled; this is known as spin–orbit coupling. Such …

Spin splitting of conduction-band energy levels in a modulation-doped InP/In 0.77 Ga 0.23
As/InP quantum well has been studied by Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations. By analyzing the …

The band structure of semimagnetic Hg 1− y Mn y Te∕ Hg 1− x Cd x Te type-III quantum

Nearly-zero-field magnetoconductance measurements have been used to deduce the
conduction-band spin splitting of GaAs. The dominant spin-scattering mechanism is the …

We discuss the effect of the spin-orbit interaction on the band structure, wave functions, and
low temperature conductance of long quasi-one-dimensional electron systems patterned in …
