The polaronic corrections to the electron energy and effective mass are calculated taking the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the compositionally asymmetric single quantum well based on heterostructures of narrow gap semiconductors InGaAs and InAs . The electron interaction with the confined longitudinal optic phonon is considered in the Fröhlich form for calculating the polaron properties. In the weak coupling limit, the polaron properties are enhanced by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the asymmetric quantum well.

We investigate the values of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling parameter α in a gated In0.53Ga0.47As/InP quantum well structure using the k•p formalism. With more positive gate voltage applied, the quantum well potential profile becomes more symmetric and the value of α decreases. The theoretical values of α are much smaller than experimental ones. The discrepancy can be reasonably explained by the neglect of the interface contribution in the k•p formalism and the formation of additional InAsxP1-xand GaxIn1-xAsyP1-yinterfacial layers in our sample.

We studied how the electron–electron interaction enhances the strength of the Rashba spin–orbit coupling and opens the possibility of generating a spin-polarized output current from an unpolarized electric current without any magnetic elements.

AbstractSpin–orbit coupling (SOC) is pivotal for various fundamental spin-dependent phenomena in solids and their technological applications. In semiconductors, these phenomena have been so far studied in relatively weak electron–electron interaction regimes, where the single electron picture holds. However, SOC can profoundly compete against Coulomb interaction, which could lead to the emergence of unconventional electronic phases. Since SOC depends on the electric field in the crystal including contributions of itinerant electrons, electron–electron interactions can modify this coupling. Here we demonstrate the emergence of the SOC effect in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system in a simple band structure MgZnO/ZnO semiconductor. This electron system also features strong electron–electron interaction effects. By changing the carrier density with Mg-content, we tune the SOC strength and achieve its interplay with electron–electron interaction. These systems pave a way to emergent spintronic phenomena in strong electron correlation regimes and to the formation of quasiparticles with the electron spin strongly coupled to the density.
