Strain-assisted spin manipulating and the discerption of strain-induced spin splitting
arXiv:0711.3378 · doi:10.1140/epjb/e2008-00265-y
Abstract
We show that the efficiency of manipulating electron spin in semiconductor quantum wells can be enhanced by tuning the strain strength. The effect combining intrinsic and strain-induced spin splitting varies for different systems, which provides an alternative route to understand the experimental phenomena brought in by the strain. The types of spin splittings caused by strain are suggested to be distinguished by the measurement of the electron-dipole-spin-resonance intensity through changing the direction of the electric field in the - plane of the quantum well and tuning the strain strengths.
