The spin-orbit interaction generally leads to spin splitting (SS) of electron and hole energy states in solids, a splitting that is characterized by a scaling with the wavevector $bf k$. Whereas for {it 3D bulk zincblende} solids the electron (heavy hole) SS exhibits a cubic (linear) scaling with $k$, in {it 2D quantum-wells} the electron (heavy hole) SS is currently believed to have a mostly linear (cubic) scaling. Such expectations are based on using a small 3D envelope function basis set to describe 2D physics. By treating instead the 2D system explicitly in a multi-band many-body approach we discover a large linear scaling of hole states in 2D. This scaling emerges from hole bands coupling that would be unsuspected by the standard model that judges coupling by energy proximity. This discovery of a linear Dresselhaus k-scaling for holes in 2D implies a different understanding of hole-physics in low-dimensions.
Electrides are an emerging class of materials with excess electrons localized in interstices and acting as anionic interstitial quasi-atoms (ISQs). The spatial ion-electron separation means that electrides can be treated physically as ionic crystals,
We report electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on a large-area silicon MOSFET. An ESR signal at g-factor 1.9999(1), and with a linewidth of 0.6 G, is observed and found to arise from two-dimensional (2D) electrons at the Si/SiO2 interface. The
We use optical transient-grating spectroscopy to measure spin diffusion of optically oriented electrons in bulk, semi-insulating GaAs(100). Trapping and recombination do not quickly deplete the photoexcited population. The spin diffusion coefficient
We use a recently developed self-consistent GW approximation to present first principles calculations of the conduction band spin splitting in GaAs under [110] strain. The spin orbit interaction is taken into account as a perturbation to the scalar r
The strong spin-orbit interaction in the organic-inorganic perovskites tied to the incorporation of heavy elements (textit{e.g.} Pb, I) makes these materials interesting for applications in spintronics. Due to a lack of inversion symmetry associated
