Intense terahertz laser fields on a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
The spin-dependent density of states and the density of spin polarization of
an InAs-based two-dimensional electron gas with the Rashba spin-orbit coupling
under an intense terahertz laser field are investigated by utilizing the
Floquet states to solve the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation.
It is found that both densities are strongly affected by the terahertz laser
field. Especially a terahertz magnetic moment perpendicular to the external
terahertz laser field in the electron gas is induced. This effect can be used
to convert terahertz electric signals into terahertz magnetic ones efficiently.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, a typo in Fig. 3(b) is correcte
Relativistic calculations of quasi-one-electron atoms and ions using Laguerre and Slater spinors
A relativistic description of the structure of heavy alkali atoms and
alkali-like ions using S-spinors and L-spinors has been developed. The core
wavefunction is defined by a Dirac-Fock calculation using an S-spinors basis.
The S-spinor basis is then supplemented by a large set of L-spinors for the
calculation of the valence wavefunction in a frozen-core model. The numerical
stability of the L-spinor approach is demonstrated by computing the energies
and decay rates of several low-lying hydrogen eigenstates, along with the
polarizabilities of a hydrogenic ion. The approach is then applied to
calculate the dynamic polarizabilities of the , and states of
Sr. The magic wavelengths at which the Stark shifts between different pairs
of transitions are zero are computed. Determination of the magic wavelengths
for the and transitions near
~nm (near the wavelength for the transitions) would allow a
determination of the oscillator strength ratio for the
and transitions.Comment: 2 figures, 23 page
