研究目的
Investigating the vectorial control of the spin-orbit interaction in suspended InAs nanowires to understand its nature and orientation, which is crucial for spintronic applications and topological quantum computation.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the isotropy of the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction in suspended InAs nanowires and the ability to control it vectorially through external electric fields. These findings are consistent with a semiclassical quasi-1D model of WAL adapted to include the geometrical constraints of the nanostructure. The results provide important insights into the intrinsic nature of suspended nanowires and have implications for spintronics and the manipulation of Majorana bound states in hybrid semiconductor devices.
研究不足
The study is limited by the simplified model used for fitting the WAL data, which assumes an isotropic spin relaxation length lSO and does not account for any angular dependence of the magnetic field. Additionally, the geometrical constraints of the nanowire and the external environment noise may affect the accuracy of the measurements.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs magnetotransport measurements in a filtered dilution refrigerator at temperatures down to 50 mK, using a standard 4-wire lock-in technique. A quasi-DC current excitation is used to prevent electron heating effects while a three-axis vectorial magnet investigates the weak anti-localization (WAL) as a function of the magnetic field orientation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Suspended n-type InAs nanowires with two side gate electrodes, a global back gate, and four ohmic contacts are used. The nanowires are grown by Au-assisted chemical beam epitaxy on InAs (111) substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A filtered dilution refrigerator, a standard 4-wire lock-in technique setup, a three-axis vectorial magnet, and electron beam lithography and Cr/Au evaporation for fabricating ohmic contacts.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The magnetotransport measurements are performed with a quasi-DC current excitation and a three-axis vectorial magnet to investigate the WAL as a function of the magnetic field orientation. The signal is integrated over a 1 s time window providing the effective averaged resistance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The correction to the conductivity is studied and compared to the quasi-1D theory for disordered systems to extract the spin and phase relaxation lengths.
