Spin-relaxation anisotropy in a 1D quantum dot with strong spin-orbit coupling.
We study the impacts of the magnetic field direction on the spin dynamics in a one-dimensional quantum dot with strong spin-orbit coupling. The energy spectrum and the corresponding eigen- functions in the quantum dot are exactly obtained. We find that no matter how large the spin-orbit coupling is, the electric-dipole spin transition rate as a function of the magnetic field direction always has a {\pi} periodicity. However, the phonon-induced spin relaxation rate as a function of the magnetic field direction has a {\pi} periodicity only in the weak spin-orbit coupling regime and a 2{\pi} periodicity in the strong spin-orbit coupling regime.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
