Abstract

Spin–orbit coupling is a manifestation of special relativity. In the reference frame of a moving electron, electric fields transform into magnetic fields, which interact with the electron spin and lift the degeneracy of spin-up and spin-down states. In solid-state systems, the resulting spin–orbit fields are referred to as Dresselhaus and Rashba fields, depending on whether the electric fields originate from bulk or structure inversion asymmetry, respectively. Yet, it remains a challenge to determine the absolute value of both contributions in a single sample. Here, we show that both fields can be measured by optically monitoring the angular dependence of the electrons’ spin precession on their direction of motion with respect to the crystal lattice. Furthermore, we demonstrate spin resonance induced by the spin–orbit fields. We apply our method to GaAs/InGaAs quantum-well electrons, but it should be universally useful to characterize spin–orbit interactions in semiconductors, and therefore could facilitate the design of spintronic devices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
