Charge pumping in monolayer graphene driven by a series of time-periodic potentials

Zhenhua Wu, J. Li, K. S. Chand

We applied the Floquet scattering-matrix formalism to studying the electronic transport properties in a mesoscopic Dirac system. Using the method, we investigate theoretically quan…

Direct detection of the relative strength of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction: Utilizing the SU(2) symmetry

Jun Li, Kai Chang

We propose a simple method to detect the relative strength of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-obit interactions in quantum wells (QWs) without relying on the directional-dependent phys…

Electric field driven quantum phase transition between band insulator and topological insulator

Jun Li, Kai Chang

We demonstrate theoretically that electric field can drive a quantum phase transition between band insulator to topological insulator in CdTe/HgCdTe/CdTe quantum wells. The numeric…

D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation in InSb/AlInSb quantum wells

Jun Li, Kai Chang, F. M. Peeters

We investigate theoretically the D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation time by solving the eight-band Kane model and Poisson equation self-consistently. Our results show distinct behavi…

Spin states in InAs/AlSb/GaSb semiconductor quantum wells

Jun Li, Wen Yang, Kai Chang

We investigate theoretically the spin states in InAs/AlSb/GaSb broken-gap quantum wells by solving the Kane model and the Poisson equation self-consistently. The spin states in InA…

Anomalous Rashba spin-orbit interaction in InAs/GaSb quantum wells

J. Li, Kai Chang, G. Q. Hai +1

We investigate theoretically the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in InAs/GaSb quantum wells(QWs). We find that the Rashba spin-splitting (RSS) depends sensitively on the thickness of…
