The spin-orbit interaction has received great attention in the field of spintronics, because of its property and applicability. For instance, the spin-orbit interaction induces spin precession which is the key element of spin transistor proposed by Datta and Das, since frequency of precession can be controlled by electric field. The spin-orbit interaction is classified according to its origin, Dresselhaus and Rashba spin-orbit interaction. In particular, the Rashba spin-orbit interaction is induced by inversion asymmetry of quantum well structure and the slope of conduction band represents the strength of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The strength of spin-orbit interaction is experimentally obtained from the Shubnikov de Hass (SdH) oscillation. The SdH oscillation is resistance change of channel for perpendicular magnetic field as a result of Zeeman spin splitting of Landau level, quantization of cyclotron motion by applied magnetic field. The frequency of oscillation is different for spin up and down due to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Consequently, the SdH oscillation shows the beat patterns. In many research studies, the spin-orbit interaction was treated as a tool for electrical manipulation of spin. On the other hands, it can be considered that the Rashba field, effective magnetic field induced by Rashba effect, may interact with external magnetic field. In order to investigate this issue, we utilized InAs quantum well layer, sandwiched by InGaAs/InAlAs as cladding layer. Then, the SdH oscillation was observed with tilted magnetic field in y-z plane. The y-component (longitudinal term) of applied magnetic field will interact with the Rashba field and the z-component (perpendicular term) will induce the Zeeman effect. As a result, the strength of spin-orbit interaction was increased (decreased), when applied magnetic field is parallel (anti-parallel) to the Rashba field. We found a possibility to control the spin precession with magnetic field.

Gate-controlled spin-orbit interaction parameter is a key factor for developing spin-Field Effect Transistor (Spin-FET) in a quantum well structure because the strength of the spin-orbit interaction parameter decides the spin precession angle [1]. Many researches show the control of spin-orbit interaction parameter in n-type quantum channels, however, for the complementary logic device p-type quantum channel should be also necessary. We have calculated the spin-orbit interaction parameter and the effective mass using the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation measurement in a GaSb two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) structure as shown in Fig 1. The inset illustrates the device geometry. The spin-orbit interaction parameter of $1.71{\times}10^{11}$ eVm and effective mass of 0.98 $m^0$ are obtained at T=1.8 K, respectively. Fig. 2 shows the gate dependence of the spin-orbit interaction parameter and the hole concentration at 1.8 K, which indicates the spin-orbit interaction parameter increases with the carrier concentration in p-type channel. On the order hand, opposite gate dependence was found in n-type channel [1,2]. Therefore, the combined device of p- and n-type channel spin transistor would be a good candidate for the complimentary logic device.

So far, all reviews and control approaches of spin relaxation have been done on lateral single electron quantum dots. In such structures, many efforts have been done, in order to eliminate spin-lattice relaxation, to obtain equal Rashba and linear Dresselhaus parameters. But, ratio of these parameters can be adjustable up to 0.7 in a material like GaAs under high-electric field magnitudes. In this article we have proposed a single electron QD structure, where confinements in all of three directions are considered to be almost identical. In this case the effect of cubic Dresselhaus interaction will have a significant amount, which undermines the linear effect of Dresselhaus while it was destructive in lateral QDs. Then it enhances the ratio of the Rashba and Dresselhaus parameters in the proposed structure as much as required and decreases the spin states up and down mixing and the deviation angle from the net spin-down As a result to the least possible value.

Recently the ab initio effective valence shell Hamiltonian method $H^v$ has been extended to treat spin-orbit coupling in atoms or molecules. The quasidegenerate many-body perturbation theory based $H^v$ method has an advantage of determining the spin-orbit coupling energies of all valence states for both the neutral species and its ions with a similar accuracy from a single computation of the effective spin-orbit coupling operator. The new spin-orbit $H^v$ method is applied to calculating the fine structure splittings of the valence states of SiH, $SiH^+$, and $SiH^{2+}$ not only to assess the accuracy of the method but also to investigate the spin-orbit interaction of highly excited states of SiH species. The computed spin-orbit splittings for ground states are in good agreement with experiment and the few available ab initio computations. The ordering of fine structure levels of the bound and quasi-bound spin-orbit coupled valence states of SiH and its ions, for which neither experiment nor theory is available, is predicted.

The magnetic susceptibilities of molybdenum ions with 4d1 electronic configuration in the octahedral crystal field were calculated on the basis of ligand field theory. The experimental magnetic susceptibilities for molybdenum ions, which are stabilized at the octahedral site in the perovskite lattice of Ba2ScMoⅤO6 and Sr2YMoⅤO6, were compared with the theoretical ones. We have tried to fit their temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility with ligand field parameters, spin-orbit coupling constant ζSO, and orbital reduction parameter κ according to intermediate field coupling and strong field theory. Strong field coupling theory could not explain experimental curves without unrealistically large axial ligand field, since it ignores the mixing up between different state via spin-orbit interaction and ligand field. On the other hand, the intermediate field coupling theory could successfully reproduce experimental data in octahedral and trigonal ligand field. The fitting result demonstrates not only the fact that spin-orbit interaction is primarily responsible for the variation of magnetic behavior but also the fact that effective orbital overlap, enhanced by cubic crystal structure, reduces significantly orbital angular momentum as indicated by κ parameter.

We have implemented two-component spin-orbit relativistic effective core potential (SOREP) methods in an all-electron relativistic program DIRAC. This extends the capacity of the two-component SOREP method to many ground and excited state calculations in a single program. As the test cases, geometries and energies of the small halogen molecules were studied. Several two-component methods are compared by using spin-orbit and scalar relativistic effective core potentials. For the $I_2$ molecule, excitation energies of low-lying excited states agree well with those from corresponding all-electron methods. Efficiencies in SOREP calculations enhanced by using symmetries are also discussed briefly.

We describe newly developed software named KPACK for relativistic electronic structure computation of molecules containing heavy elements that enables the two-component ab initio calculations in Kramers restricted and unrestricted formalisms in the framework of the relativistic effective core potential (RECP). The spin-orbit coupling as relativistic effect enters into the calculation at the Hartree-Fock (HF) stage and hence, is treated in a variational manner to generate two-component molecular spinors as one-electron wavefunctions for use in the correlated methods. As correlated methods, KPACK currently provides the two-component second-order M${\o}$ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), configuration interaction (CI) and complete-active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) methods. Test calculations were performed for the ground states of group-14 elements, for which the spin-orbit coupling greatly influences the determination of term symbols. A categorization of three procedures is suggested for the two-component methods on the basis of spin-orbit coupling manifested in the HF level.

We have theoretically studied the nonadiabatic transitions among the five lower states with the Ω=$1_u$ symmetry ($1_u^{(1)} to 1_u^{(5)}$) in the photodissociation of Cl₂, Br₂, and I₂by using the spin-orbit configuration interaction (SOCI) method and the semiclassical time-dependent coupled Schrodinger equations. From the configuration analyses of the SOCI wavefunctions, we found that the nonadiabatic transition between $1_u^{(2)}$ and $1_u^{(1)}$ is a noncrossing type, while that between $1_u^{(3)}$ and $1_u^{(4)}$ is a crossing type for all the molecules. The behavior of the radial derivative coupling element between $1_u^{(1)}$ and $1_u^{(2)}$ and that between $1_u^{(3)}$ and $1_u^{(4)}$ is analyzed in detail. In Cl₂, nonadiabatic transitions can take place even between the states correlating to different dissociation limits, while in Br₂ and I₂, with the usual photon energies e.g. less than 20 eV, nonadiabatic transitions occur only between the states correlating to the same dissociation limits, reflecting the different magnitudes of the spin-orbit interactions.
