Suppression of Spin Dephasing in a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas with a Quantum Point Contact
Journal of Magnetics, Volume 15, Number 1, 31 Mar 2010, Pages 7-11
Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a source of strong spin dephasing in two- and three-dimensional semiconducting systems. We report that spin dephasing in a two-dimensional electron gas can be suppressed by introducing a quantum point contact. Surprisingly, this suppression was not limited to the vicinity of the contact but extended to the entire two-dimensional electron gas. This facilitates the electrical control of the spin degree of freedom in a two-dimensional electron gas through spin-orbit coupling.
Keywords: spin-orbit coupling; quantum point contact; spin dephasing
