Spatial electron-spin splitting in single-layered semiconductor microstructure modulated by Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling
Combining theory and computation,we explore the Goos-Hänchen(GH)effect for electrons in a single-layered semiconductor microstructure(SLSM)modulated by Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling(SOC).GH displacement depends on electron spins thanks to Dresselhaus SOC,therefore electron spins can be separated from the space domain and spin-polarized electrons in semiconductors can be realized.Both the magnitude and sign of the spin polarization ratio change with the electron energy,in-plane wave vector,strain engineering and semiconductor layer thickness.The spin polarization ratio approaches a maximum at resonance;however,no electron-spin polarization occurs in the SLSM for a zero in-plane wave vector.More importantly,the spin polarization ratio can be manipulated by strain engineering or semiconductor layer thickness,giving rise to a controllable spatial electron-spin splitter in the field of semiconductor spintronics.
