Interference effects and Huygens' principle in transverse magnetic focusing of electrons and holes
arXiv:1702.04425 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.96.035413
Abstract
Interference effects form a fundamental pillar of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we examine the interference in spin-orbit coupled transverse magnetic focusing, where a weak magnetic field is used to focus charge carries over mesoscopic scales. We determine a semi-classical form for the Green's function in a weak magnetic field, for the case of both spin-less and spin-orbit coupled charge carriers. The obtained forms for the Greens' function are independent of particle dispersion and are thus applicable to a wide variety of systems.
