具有“pseudo-Rashba”自旋轨道耦合的石墨烯和石墨烯纳米带的电子性质

Electronic properties of graphene and graphene nanoribbons with "pseudo-Rashba" spin-orbit coupling

Tobias Stauber, John Schliemann

摘要:

我们讨论了石墨烯和石墨烯纳米带的电子性质,包括“pseudo-Rashba”自旋轨道耦合。在总结了体特性之后,我们首先分析了无限质量和锯齿形边界附近的散射行为。对于低能量,我们观察到强烈的偏离通常的自旋守恒行为在高能量,如反射作为自旋偏振器或开关。由于在非平衡的情况下或当两个单粒子分支之间没有相干性时出现倏逝模,这导致沿着边界方向的自旋极化。然后我们讨论了石墨烯纳米带的自旋和密度分布。

英文摘要:

We discuss the electronic properties of graphene and graphene nanoribbons including "pseudo-Rashba" spin-orbit coupling. After summarizing the bulk properties, we first analyze the scattering behavior close to an infinite mass and zigzag boundary. For low energies, we observe strong deviations from the usual spin-conserving behavior at high energies such as reflection acting as spin polarizer or switch. This results in a spin polarization along the direction of the boundary due to the appearance of evanescent modes in the case of non-equilibrium or when there is no coherence between the two one-particle branches. We then discuss the spin and density distribution of graphene nanoribbons.
