Sharp periodic Ge concentration modulations beyond the conduction band valley wavevector in nuclear spin-free Si quantum wells
Ivo Rahlff, Carsten Richter, Martin Schmidbauer +13
Periodic Ge modulations within strained Si quantum wells in SiGe heterostructures offer a route to deterministically enhance conduction-band valley splitting in Si, a key requireme…
Valley physics in the two bands model for SiGe heterostructures and spin qubits
Tancredi Salamone, Biel Martinez Diaz, Jing Li +2
We discuss the choice and implementation of inter-valley potentials in the so-called two bands model for the opposite , or valleys of silicon…
Valley Splittings in Si/SiGe Heterostructures from First Principles
Lukas Cvitkovich, Tancredi Salamone, Christoph Wilhelmer +3
We compute valley splittings in Si/SiGe superlattices using ab initio density functional theory (DFT). This first-principle approach is expected to provide an excellent description…
Interface probe for antiferromagnets using geometric curvature
Tancredi Salamone, Magnus Skjærpe, Henning G. Hugdal +2
We propose that geometric curvature and torsion may be used to probe the quality of an uncompensated antiferromagnetic interface, using the proximity effect. We study a helix of an…
