调制掺杂GaAs量子线的自旋极化

Spin polarization in modulation-doped GaAs quantum wires

M. Evaldsson, S. Ihnatsenka, I. V. Zozoulenko

摘要:

我们研究了分裂门量子线中的自旋极化,重点是由于远程施主的现实光滑势的影响。电子相互作用和自旋效应被包含在局域自旋密度近似的密度泛函理论中。我们发现,依赖于电子密度,自旋极化表现出质的不同的功能。对于相对高的电子密度的情况,当费米能$E_{F}$超过长程杂质势$V_{donors}$的特征强度时,线内的密度自旋极化实际上可以忽略,并且线电导是自旋简并的。当密度降低使得$E_{F}$接近$V_{donors}$时,电子密度和电导迅速变为自旋极化的。随着密度的进一步降低,电子被捕获在由杂质电势形成的湖(液滴)内,并且导线电导接近夹断状态。我们讨论了DFT-LSDA在这个政权的局限性,并比较所获得的结果与现有的实验数据。

英文摘要:

We study spin polarization in a split-gate quantum wire focussing on the effect of a realistic smooth potential due to remote donors. Electron interaction and spin effects are included within the density functional theory in the local spin density approximation. We find that depending on the electron density, the spin polarization exhibits qualitatively different features. For the case of relatively high electron density, when the Fermi energy $E_{F}$ exceeds a characteristic strength of a long-range impurity potential $V_{donors}$, the density spin polarization inside the wire is practically negligible and the wire conductance is spin-degenerate. When the density is decreased such that $E_{F}$ approaches $V_{donors}$, the electron density and conductance quickly become spin polarized. With further decrease of the density the electrons are trapped inside the lakes (droplets) formed by the impurity potential and the wire conductance approaches the pinch-off regime. We discuss the limitations of DFT-LSDA in this regime and compare the obtained results with available experimental data.
