The spin splitting of conduction band electrons in inversion-asymmetric InGaAs/InP quantum wells (QWs) is studied by Shubnikov-de Haas measurements combining the analysis of beating patterns and coincidence measurements in doubly tilted magnetic fields. Th ...

Predictive Determination of Band Gaps of Inorganic Halide Perovskites

Alfredo Pasquarello, Ursula Röthlisberger, Julia Anna Wiktor

We carry out first-principles calculations of band gaps of cubic inorganic perovskites belonging to the class CsBX3, with B = Pb, Sn and X = Cl, Br, I. We use the quasi particle self-consistent GW method with efficient vertex corrections to calculate the e ...

Anisotropy of transport in bulk Rashba metals

Claudio Grimaldi

The recent experimental discovery of three-dimensional (3D) materials hosting a strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling calls for the theoretical investigation of their transport properties. Here we study the zero-temperature dc conductivity of a 3D Rashba metal ...

Origin and Magnitude of 'Designer' Spin-Orbit Interaction in Graphene on Semiconducting Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Helmuth Berger, Zhe Wang

We use a combination of experimental techniques to demonstrate a general occurrence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) substrates. Our measurements indicate that SOI is ultrastrong and extremely robust, des ...

Disentangling bulk and surface Rashba effects in ferroelectric alpha-GeTe

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff

Macroscopic ferroelectric order in alpha-GeTe with its noncentrosymmetric lattice structure leads to a giant Rashba spin splitting in the bulk bands due to strong spin-orbit interaction. Direct measurements of the bulk band structure using soft x-ray angle ...

Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, Hall effect, and optical reflectance (R(omega)) measurements have been performed on single crystals of BiTeBr. Under magnetic fields up to 32 tesla and at temperatures as low as 0.4K, the SdH data shows a single oscill ...

Unconventional dc Transport in Rashba Electron Gases

Claudio Grimaldi

We discuss the transport properties of a disordered two-dimensional electron gas with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show that in the high-density regime where the Fermi energy overcomes the energy associated with spin-orbit coupling, dc transport i ...

Entanglement and manipulation of the magnetic and spin-orbit order in multiferroic Rashba semiconductors

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff, Mauro Fanciulli, Andrew Patton Weber

Entanglement of the spin-orbit and magnetic order in multiferroic materials bears a strong potential for engineering novel electronic and spintronic devices. Here, we explore the electron and spin structure of ferroelectric alpha-GeTe thin films doped with ...

Direct measurement of the bulk spin structure of noncentrosymmetric BiTeCl

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff

A strong spin-orbit interaction leads to a Rashba-type splitting of the bulk bands of BiTeCl, which results in toroidal Fermi surfaces with distinct spin structures depending on the chemical potential. Here, we present spin-and angle-resolved photoelectron ...

Investigation of interactions in two-dimensional electron gases with angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy

Carola Strasser

In this thesis, angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is used to study the electronic structure of different two-dimensional electron systems (2DES). This technique is very surface sensitive and the most direct method to probe the surface ban ...
