Resonant Spin and Charge Hall Effects in 2D Electron Gas with Unequal Rashba and Dresselhaus Spin-Orbit Couplings under a Perpendicular Magnetic Field

Abstract

We have investigated the complex two-dimensional electron system with unequal Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. The spin polarizations are obtained in a wide range of magnetic fields. It is shown that such a system is hard to be magnetized. We also find that the resonant charge and spin Hall conductances occurs simultaneously at a certain magnetic field, at which two (nearly) degenerate Landau levels are filled partly. The resonant Hall effects are universal in this type of semiconductor materials, and could have potential application for semiconductor spintronics.
