Title:

Magnetization of a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas with a Spin-orbit Interaction

Date of publication:

Apr. 2006

Key words:

Rashba spin-orbit interaction, Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction, two-dimensional electron gas, spintronics

Abstract:

We argue that a two-dimensional electron gas with a spin-orbit interaction is magnetized when a voltage is applied with the Fermi level tuned to be in the energy gap. The magnetization is an indication of spin-carrying currents due to the spin-orbit interaction
