Abstract

The quantum states of a two-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit coupling located in the periodic potential of a lateral-surface superlattice are studied. The spin-split energy bands and the distribution of spin projections in the Brillouin zone are constructed. Bloch oscillations accompanied by spin precession in superlattices with spin-orbit coupling located in a constant electric field are studied.
