Spin–orbit coupling induces a unique form of Zeeman interaction in momentum space in
materials that lack inversion symmetry: the electron's spin is locked on an effective magnetic …

In the effort to develop disruptive quantum technologies, germanium is emerging as a
versatile material to realize devices capable of encoding, processing and transmitting …

Abstract Theory of electrical spin injection from a ferromagnetic (FM) metal into a normal (N)
conductor is presented. We show that tunnel contacts (T) can dramatically increase spin …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

The Rashba effect, discovered in 1959, continues to supply fertile ground for fundamental
research and applications. It provided the basis for the proposal of the spin transistor by …

I? rst heard of k· p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William
Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k· p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical …

We present numerical calculations of the ballistic spin-transport properties of quasi-one-
dimensional wires in the presence of the spin-orbit (Rashba) interaction. A tight-binding …

We investigate heavy-hole spin relaxation and decoherence in quantum dots in
perpendicular magnetic fields. We show that at low temperatures the spin decoherence time …

We study theoretically the low-energy hole states in Si, Ge, and Ge/Si core/shell nanowires
(NWs). The NW core in our model has a rectangular cross section, the results for a square …

We present evidence of cubic Rashba spin splitting in a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas
formed at a surface of (001) SrTiO 3 single crystal from the weak localization or …
