Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have been used to transport single electrons across long distances of several hundreds of microns. They can potentially be instrumental in the implementation of scalable quantum processors and quantum repeaters, by facilitating interaction between distant qubits. While most of the work thus far has focused on SAW devices in doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures, we have developed a method of creating lateral p-n junctions in an undoped heterostructure containing a quantum well, with the expected advantages of having reduced charge noise and increased spin-coherence lifetimes due to the lack of dopant scattering centres. We present experimental observations of SAW-driven single-electron quantised current in an undoped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, where single electrons were transported between regions of induced electrons. We also demonstrate pumping of electrons by a SAW across the sub-micron depleted channel between regions of electrons and holes, and observe light emission at such a lateral p-n junction. Improving the lateral confinement in the junction should make it possible to produce a quantised electron-to-hole current and hence SAW-driven emission of single photons.
We show that a surface acoustic wave (SAW) applied across the terminals of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) decreases both the (time-averaged) parallel and antiparallel resistances of the MTJ, with the latter decreasing much more than the former. Thi
We develop a coherent beam splitter for single electrons driven through two tunnel-coupled quantum wires by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The output current through each wire oscillates with gate voltages to tune the tunnel-coupling and potential di
Voltage induced magnetization dynamics of magnetic thin films is a valuable tool to study anisotropic fields, exchange couplings, magnetization damping and spin pumping mechanism. A particularly well established technique is the ferromagnetic resonan
We present a microscopic theory of spin-dependent motive force (spin motive force) induced by magnetization dynamics in a conducting ferromagnet, by taking account of spin relaxation of conduction electrons. The theory is developed by calculating spi
We present an extensive experimental and theoretical study of surface acoustic wave-driven ferromagnetic resonance. In a first modeling approach based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, we derive expressions for the magnetization dynamics upon
