Small-angle impurity scattering and the spin Hall conductivity in 2D systems
A. V. Shytov, E. G. Mishchenko, H. -A. Engel +1
An arbitrarily small concentration of impurities can affect the spin Hall conductivity in a two-dimensional semiconductor system. We develop a Boltzmann-like equation that can be u…
A heuristic quantum theory of the integer quantum Hall effect
Tobias Kramer
Contrary to common belief, the current emitted by a contact embedded in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is quantized in the presence of electric and magnetic fields. This obs…
One-Dimensional Hole Gas in Germanium/Silicon Nanowire Heterostructures
Wei Lu, Jie Xiang, Brian P. Timko +2
Two-dimensional electron and hole gas systems, enabled through band structure design and epitaxial growth on planar substrates, have served as key platforms for fundamental condens…
Localization Transition in a Ballistic Quantum Wire
H. Steinberg, O. M. Auslaender, A. Yacoby +7
The many-body wave-function of an interacting one-dimensional electron system is probed, focusing on the low-density, strong interaction regime. The properties of the wave-function…
Screening in the two-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit coupling
M. Pletyukhov, V. Gritsev
We study the interplay between electron-electron interaction and Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the two-dimensional electron gas. Using the random phase approximation we predict new…
Theory of Spin Hall conductivity in n-doped GaAs
Hans-Andreas Engel, Bertrand I. Halperin, Emmanuel I. Rashba
We develop a theory of extrinsic spin currents in semiconductors, resulting from spin-orbit coupling at charged scatterers, which leads to skew scattering and side jump contributio…
