Strong Enhancement of Rashba spin-orbit coupling with increasing anisotropy in the Fock-Darwin states of a quantum dot

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We have investigated the electronic properties of elliptical quantum dots in a perpendicular external magnetic field, and in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Our work indicates that the Fock-Darwin spectra display strong signature of Rashba spin-orbit coupling even for a low magnetic field, as the anisotropy of the quantum dot is increased. An explanation of this pronounced effect with respect to the anisotropy is presented. The strong spin-orbit coupling effect manifests itself prominently in the corresponding dipole-allowed optical transitions, and hence is susceptible to direct experimental observation.
