Conductance measurement of spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional electron systems with an in-plane magnetic field

Résumé

We consider determination of spin-orbit (SO) coupling constants for the two-dimensional electron gas from measurements of electric properties in rotated in-plane magnetic field. Due to the SO coupling the electron backscattering is accompanied by spin precession and spin mixing of the incident and reflected electron waves. The competition of the external and SO-related magnetic fields produces a characteristic conductance dependence on the in-plane magnetic field value and orientation which, in turn, allows for determination of the absolute value of the effective spin-orbit coupling constant as well as the ratio of the Rashba and Dresselhaus SO contributions.
