Spin switching in semiconductor quantum dots through spin-orbit coupling

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: The spin-orbit coupling influences the total spin of semiconductor quantum dots. We analyze the theoretical prediction for the combined effects of spin-orbit coupling, weak vertical magnetic fields and deformation of the dot. Our results allow the characterization of the quantum dots as the spin switches, controllable with electric gates.
