Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

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 …

Nanofabricated quantum bits permit large-scale integration but usually suffer from short
coherence times due to interactions with their solid-state environment. The outstanding …

Although silicon is a promising material for quantum computation, the degeneracy of the
conduction band minima (valleys) must be lifted with a splitting sufficient to ensure the …

Spin photocurrents generated by homogeneous optical excitation with circularly polarized
radiation in quantum wells (QWs) are reviewed. The absorption of circularly polarized light …

The paper reviews the interplay of Rashba/Dresselhaus spin splittings in various two‐
dimensional systems made of zinc‐blende III–V, wurtzite, and SiGe semiconductors. We …

In recent years, the physics community has experienced a revival of interest in spin effects in
solid state systems. On one hand, the solid state systems, particularly, semiconductors and …

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 …

We devise a platform for noise-resistant quantum computing using the valley degree of
freedom of Si quantum dots. The qubit is encoded in two polarized (1, 1) spin-triplet states …

The spins of localized electrons in silicon are strong candidates for quantum information
processing because of their extremely long coherence times and the integrability of Si within …
