Rashba spin-orbit interaction in semiconductor nanostructures		  pdf 

ABSTRACT

In this work we review of the theoretical and experimental issue related to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction [1] in semiconductor nanostructures. The Rashba spin-orbit interaction has been a promising candidate for controlling the spin of electrons in the field of semiconductor spintronics. In this work I focus study of the electrons spin and holes in isolated semiconductor quantum dots and rings in the presence of magnetic fields. Spin-dependent thermodynamic properties with strong spin-orbit coupling inside their band structure in systems are investigated in this work. Additionally, specific heat and magnetization in two- dimensional, one-dimensional ring and quantum dot nanostructures with spin- orbit interaction are discussed.

Keywords: spin-orbit interaction, Rashba effect, two-dimensional electron gas, one-dimensional ring, quantum wire, quantum dot, semiconductor nanostructures.
