Spin-orbit coupling in quasi-one-dimensional Wigner crystals
Viktoriia Kornich, Christopher J. Pedder, Thomas L. Schmidt
We study the effect of Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the charge and spin degrees of freedom of a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) Wigner crystal. As electrons in a quasi-1D W…
Dynamic response functions and helical gaps in interacting Rashba nanowires with and without magnetic fields
Christopher Pedder, Tobias Meng, Rakesh P. Tiwari +1
A partially gapped spectrum due to the application of a magnetic field is one of the main probes of Rashba spin-orbit coupling in nanowires. Such a "helical gap" manifests itself i…
Lifting the Franck-Condon blockade in driven quantum dots
Patrick Haughian, Stefan Walter, Andreas Nunnenkamp +1
Electron-vibron coupling in quantum dots can lead to a strong suppression of the average current in the sequential tunneling regime. This effect is known as Franck-Condon blockade…
Helical gaps in interacting Rashba wires at low electron densities
Thomas L. Schmidt, Christopher J. Pedder
Rashba spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic field perpendicular to the Rashba axis have been predicted to open a partial gap ("helical gap") in the energy spectrum of noninteracting…
Emission of entangled Kramers pairs from a helical mesoscopic capacitor
Giacomo Dolcetto, Thomas L. Schmidt
The realization of single-electron sources in integer quantum Hall systems has paved the way for exploring electronic quantum optics experiments in solid-state devices. In this wor…
Transport through a quantum spin Hall antidot as a spectroscopic probe of spin textures
Alexia Rod, Giacomo Dolcetto, Stephan Rachel +1
We investigate electron transport through an antidot embedded in a narrow strip of two-dimensional topological insulator. We focus on the most generic and experimentally relevant c…
