具有空间相关Rashba相互作用的量子阱中的自旋注入

Spin Injection in Quantum Wells with Spatially Dependent Rashba Interaction

Arne Brataas, A. G. Mal'shukov, Yaroslav Tserkovnyak

摘要:

我们考虑了半导体量子阱中电场驱动下自旋输运的Rashba自旋轨道效应。我们推导出自旋扩散方程,是有效的平均自由程和Rashba自旋轨道相互作用的长度尺度大于平均自由程在弱自旋轨道耦合限制。从这些一般的扩散方程,我们推导出不同的自旋轨道耦合区域之间的边界条件。我们证明了当电场垂直于两个区域之间的边界时,自旋注入是可行的。当电场平行于边界时,自旋注入仅在平均自由程在边界内变化时发生,这与Tserkovnyak等人最近的工作一致。[cond-mat/0610190]。

英文摘要:

We consider Rashba spin-orbit effects on spin transport driven by an electric field in semiconductor quantum wells. We derive spin diffusion equations that are valid when the mean free path and the Rashba spin-orbit interaction vary on length scales larger than the mean free path in the weak spin-orbit coupling limit. From these general diffusion equations, we derive boundary conditions between regions of different spin-orbit couplings. We show that spin injection is feasible when the electric field is perpendicular to the boundary between two regions. When the electric field is parallel to the boundary, spin injection only occurs when the mean free path changes within the boundary, in agreement with the recent work by Tserkovnyak et al. [cond-mat/0610190].
