Influences of Rashba spin-orbit interaction(SOI) effects on the ground state energy of the electron in quantum ring at zero fields are studied by means of the perturbation method. Numerical calculations for CdF2 ring are performed and the results show that the Rashba SOI makes the ground state energy of electron split into two branches, which are induced by the spin-up state and spin-down state, respectively. Two branches splitting energy increases oscillatorily with increasing the inner radius of quantum ring and decreases oscillatorily with increasing the outer radius of quantum ring. The largest Rashba spin splitting energies in the process of oscillation-increase and oscillation-decrease are 11.91meV and 13.97meV, respectively. These data and results are helpful to design and develop spin field effect transistor, spin light-emitting diode, spin resonant tunneling device, etc.

On the basis of Lee–Low–Pines unitary transformation, the influence of Rashba spin-orbit (RSO) interaction and Zeeman splitting on the ground state energy of polaron in an asymmetric quantum dot (AQD) is studied by using the variational method of Pekar type. The variations of the absolute ratios of the Zeeman splitting energy and the RSO coupling energy to the ground state energy of polaron with the transverse confinement length (TCL) and the longitudinal confinement length (LCL) of AQD and the magnetic field adjusting length (MFAL) are derived when the RSO interaction and the Zeeman splitting are taken into account. We find the influences of the Zeeman splitting energy and the RSO coupling energy on the ground state energy of a polaron are more dominant when the values of the TCL and the LCL are small. The absolute ratio of the Zeeman splitting energy to the ground state energy rapidly decreases with increasing the MFAL and the absolute ratio of the RSO coupling energy to the ground state energy slowly decreases with increase in MFAL when [Formula: see text], whereas the absolute ratio of the RSO coupling energy to the ground state energy rapidly increases with increase in MFAL when [Formula: see text]. The above results can be attributed to the interesting quantum size confining and spin effects.

We conducted a theoretical study on the properties of a polaron with electron-LO phonon strong-coupling in a cylindrical quantum dot under an electric field using linear combination operator and unitary transformation methods. The changing relations between the ground state energy of the polaron in the quantum dot and the electric field intensity, restricted intensity, and cylindrical height were derived. The numerical results show that the polar of the quantum dot is enlarged with increasing restricted intensity and decreasing cylindrical height, and with cylindrical height at 0 ~ 5 nm , the polar of the quantum dot is strongest. The ground state energy decreases with increasing electric field intensity, and at the moment of just adding electric field, quantum polarization is strongest.

In this paper, the effects of a repulsive scattering center on the ground-state energy and spin properties of a three-electron parabolic quantum dot are investigated theoretically by means of configuration interaction method. Phase transition from a weakly correlated regime to a strongly correlated regime is examined from several strengths and positions of Gaussian impurity. Numerical results reveal that the transition from spin-1/2 to spin-3/2 state depends strongly on the location of the impurity which accordingly states the controllability of the spin polarization. Moreover, broken circular symmetry results in more pronounced electronic charge localization.

Abstract As a sequel to previous work, we extend the study of the ground state configuration of the D = 3, Wilson-Fisher conformal O(4) model. In this work, we prove that for generic ratios of two charge densities, ρ1/ρ2, the ground-state configuration is inhomogeneous and that the inhomogeneity expresses itself towards longer spatial periods. This is the direct extension of the similar statements we previously made for ρ1/ρ2 ≪ 1. We also compute, at fixed set of charges, ρ1, ρ2, the ground state energy and the two-point function(s) associated with this inhomogeneous configuration on the torus. The ground state energy was found to scale (ρ1 + ρ2)3/2, as dictated by dimensional analysis and similarly to the case of the O(2) model. Unlike the case of the O(2) model, the ground also strongly violates cluster decomposition in the large-volume, fixed-density limit, with a two-point function that is negative definite at antipodal points of the torus at leading order at large charge.

AbstractNonmagnetic Rashba systems with broken inversion symmetry are expected to exhibit nonreciprocal charge transport, a new paradigm of unidirectional magnetoresistance in the absence of ferromagnetic layer. So far, most work on nonreciprocal transport has been solely limited to cryogenic temperatures, which is a major obstacle for exploiting the room-temperature two-terminal devices based on such a nonreciprocal response. Here, we report a nonreciprocal charge transport behavior up to room temperature in semiconductor α-GeTe with coexisting the surface and bulk Rashba states. The combination of the band structure measurements and theoretical calculations strongly suggest that the nonreciprocal response is ascribed to the giant bulk Rashba spin splitting rather than the surface Rashba states. Remarkably, we find that the magnitude of the nonreciprocal response shows an unexpected non-monotonical dependence on temperature. The extended theoretical model based on the second-order spin–orbit coupled magnetotransport enables us to establish the correlation between the nonlinear magnetoresistance and the spin textures in the Rashba system. Our findings offer significant fundamental insight into the physics underlying the nonreciprocity and may pave a route for future rectification devices.
