Spin-orbit coupling and magnetic spin states in cylindrical quantum dots

MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

We make a detailed analysis of each possible spin-orbit coupling of zincblende narrow-gap cylindrical quantum dots built in a two-dimensional electron gas. These couplings are related to both bulk (Dresselhaus) and structure (Rashba) inversion asymmetries. We study the competition between electron-electron and spin-orbit interactions on electronic properties of 2-electron quantum dots.
