Spin switching in semiconductor quantum dots through spin-orbit coupling

  • 20 June 2002
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 spin switches, controllable with electric gates.
