摘要:

自旋-轨道相互作用通常导致固体中电子和空穴能态的自旋分裂(SS),分裂的特征在于与波矢量$\bf k$成比例。而对于{ \it 3D块状氧化锌}固体,电子(重空穴)SS表现出与$k$的立方(线性)标度,在{ \it 2D量子阱}中,电子(重空穴)SS目前被认为具有大部分线性(立方)标度。这样的期望是基于使用小的3D包络函数基集来描述2D物理。通过在多带多体方法中显式地处理2D系统,我们发现2D中空穴态的大的线性标度。这种尺度变化是由空穴带耦合引起的,而标准模型是通过能量接近来判断耦合的。二维空穴的线性Dresselhaus k标度的发现意味着对低维空穴物理的不同理解。

英文摘要:

The spin-orbit interaction generally leads to spin splitting (SS) of electron and hole energy states in solids, a splitting that is characterized by a scaling with the wavevector $\bf k$. Whereas for {\it 3D bulk zincblende} solids the electron (heavy hole) SS exhibits a cubic (linear) scaling with $k$, in {\it 2D quantum-wells} the electron (heavy hole) SS is currently believed to have a mostly linear (cubic) scaling. Such expectations are based on using a small 3D envelope function basis set to describe 2D physics. By treating instead the 2D system explicitly in a multi-band many-body approach we discover a large linear scaling of hole states in 2D. This scaling emerges from hole bands coupling that would be unsuspected by the standard model that judges coupling by energy proximity. This discovery of a linear Dresselhaus k-scaling for holes in 2D implies a different understanding of hole-physics in low-dimensions.
