Rashba spin-orbit interaction in a Mg_xZn_(1−x)O/ZnO two-dimensional electron gas studied by electrically detected electron spin resonance
Chicago
Abstract
We report the experimental determination of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) strength in two-dimensional electrons in a MgZnO/ZnO heterostructure using electrically detected electron spin resonance. The Rashba parameter is determined to be 7.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ eV m, which is the second smallest value among prevalent semiconductor heterostructures, following Si/SiGe. A long transverse spin relaxation time was derived to show a maximum value of 27 ns, owing to weak SOI. Our study demonstrates that the ZnO heterostructure is a promising candidate for spintronic devices utilizing long spin coherence.
