HgTe/CdTe量子阱与金属界面的自旋霍尔效应

Spin Hall effect at interfaces between HgTe/CdTe quantum wells and metals

M. Guigou, P. Recher, J. Cayssol, B. Trauzettel

摘要:

我们研究了通过HgTe/CdTe量子阱(QW)和金属之间的界面的自旋相关的传输-无论是正常的金属和超导的情况。有趣的是,我们发现了一种新的类型的自旋霍尔效应在这些接口,碰巧存在,即使在没有结构和体反转不对称的每个子系统(即量子阱和金属)。因此,这是一个纯粹的边界自旋霍尔效应,它可以直接关系到在界面处的指数局域边缘状态的存在。我们演示了如何测量和功能化的全电自旋注入到正常的金属引线这种效果。

英文摘要:

We study the spin-dependent transmission through interfaces between a HgTe/CdTe quantum well (QW) and a metal - both for the normal metal and the superconducting case. Interestingly, we discover a new type of spin Hall effect at these interfaces that happens to exist even in the absence of structure and bulk inversion asymmetry within each subsystem (i.e. the QW and the metal). Thus, this is a pure boundary spin Hall effect which can be directly related to the existence of exponentially localized edge states at the interface. We demonstrate how this effect can be measured and functionalized for an all-electric spin injection into normal metal leads.
