Spin relaxation in a two-dimensional electron gas in a perpendicular magnetic field
Spin relaxation in a two-dimensional electron gas in a perpendicular magnetic field
We consider the problem of spin relaxation in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a perpendicular magnetic field. We assume that the spin relaxation is induced by the Rashba spin-orbit (SO) interaction, which appears due to the inversion asymmetry of the confining potential. Our solution is based on a microscopic …
