Spin-orbit interactions in inversion-asymmetric two-dimensional hole systems: A variational analysis

E Marcellina, AR Hamilton, R Winkler, D Culcer - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We present an in-depth study of the spin-orbit (SO) interactions occurring in inversion-
asymmetric two-dimensional hole gases at semiconductor heterointerfaces. We focus on …

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 …

Polarization and third-order Hall effect in III-V semiconductor heterojunctions

O Pal, TK Ghosh - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study Berry connection polarizability (BCP) induced electric polarization and the third-
order Hall (TOH) effect in a two-dimensional electron/hole gas (2DEG/2DHG) with Rashba …

Conserved current of nonconserved quantities

C Xiao, Q Niu - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We provide a unified semiclassical theory for the conserved current of nonconserved
quantities, and manifest it in two physical contexts: the spin current of Bloch electrons and …

Strong spin-orbit contribution to the hall coefficient of two-dimensional hole systems

H Liu, E Marcellina, AR Hamilton, D Culcer - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
Classical charge transport, such as longitudinal and Hall currents in weak magnetic fields, is
usually not affected by quantum phenomena. Yet relativistic quantum mechanics is at the …

Detection and control of spin-orbit interactions in a GaAs hole quantum point contact

Zitterbewegung of a heavy hole in presence of spin-orbit interactions

T Biswas, S Chowdhury, TK Ghosh - The European Physical Journal B, 2015 - Springer
We study the zitterbewegung of a heavy hole in presence of both cubic Rashba and cubic
Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. On contrary to the electronic case, zitterbewegung does …
