表面邻近效应引起的AlSb/InAs/AlSb量子阱零场自旋分裂

Zero field spin splitting in AlSb/InAs/AlSb quantum wells induced by surface proximity effects

摘要:

InAs量子阱异质结构对于介观器件应用如扫描探针和磁纪录传感器具有相当大的兴趣,这些应用要求沟道靠近表面。在这里,我们报告在20 nm的浅深度的AlSb/InAs/AlSb霍尔条的磁输运测量。对所观察到的Shubnikov-de Haas振荡的分析和建模表明,在零磁场下,自旋分裂能量超过2.3 meV。我们认为自旋劈裂是由于量子阱中的能带弯曲引起的Rashba效应。这是由从表面到量子阱的大量电子转移引起的,并且当量子阱位于表面附近时变得显著。

英文摘要:

InAs quantum well heterostructures are of considerable interest for mesoscopic device applications such as scanning probe and magnetic recording sensors, which require the channel to be close to the surface. Here we report on magnetotransport measurements of AlSb/InAs/AlSb Hall bars at a shallow depth of 20 nm. Analysis of the observed Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and modeling show that spin splitting energies in excess of 2.3 meV occur at zero magnetic field. We conclude that the spin-splitting results from the Rashba effect due to the band bending in the quantum well. This is caused by substantial electron transfer from the surface to the quantum well and becomes significant when the quantum well is located near the surface.
