Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spatially local and high speed manipulations of electron spins are difficult with a magnetic field. Electron spins moving in an electric field feel a magnetic field because of a relativistic spin-orbit interaction. We succeeded in electrical spin generation, manipulation, and detection by using spin-orbit interaction at semiconductor heterostructures without using a magnetic field. Furthermore, we established a novel concept to determine the strength of two different spin-orbit interactions and realized a gate-controlled persistent spin helix state where the spin relaxation is suppressed. These results pave a way for future low power-consumption spintronic devices.
