Harper-Hofstadter problem for 2D electron gas with -linear Rashba spin-orbit coupling
The Harper-Hofstadter problem for two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba
spin-orbit coupling subject to periodic potential and perpendicular magnetic
field is studied analytically and numerically. The butterfly-like energy
spectrum, spinor wave functions as well as the spin density and average spin
polarization are calculated for actual parameters of semiconductor structure.
Our calculations show that in two-dimensional electron gas subject to periodic
potential and uniform magnetic field the effects of energy spectrum splitting
caused by large spin-orbit Rashba coupling can be observed experimentally.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures. submitted to Europhys. Letter
Evidence for magnetoplasmon character of the cyclotron resonance response of a two-dimensional electron gas
Experimental results on the absolute magneto-transmission of a series of high
density, high mobility GaAs quantum wells are compared with the predictions of
a recent magnetoplasmon theory for values of the filling factor above 2. We
show that the magnetoplasmon picture can explain the non-linear features
observed in the magnetic field evolution of the cyclotron resonance energies
and of the absorption oscillator strength. This provides experimental evidence
that inter Landau level excitations probed by infrared spectroscopy need to be
considered as many body excitations in terms of magnetoplasmons: this is
especially true when interpreting the oscillator strengths of the cyclotron
transitions
