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.

The energy dispersion and magnetization of a modified magnetic dot are investigated numerically. The effects of additional electrostatic potential, magnetic field non-uniformity, and Zeeman spin splitting are studied. The modified magnetic quantum dot is a magnetically formed quantum structure that has different magnetic fields inside and outside of the dot. The additional electrostatic potential prohibits the ground-state angular momentum transition in the energy dispersion as a function of the magnetic field inside the dot, and provides oscillation of the magnetization as a function of the chemical potential energy. The magnetic field non-uniformity broadens the shape of the magnetization. The Zeeman spin splitting produces additional peaks on the magnetization.

최근 세계적 주목을 받고 있는 spin FET[1] 소자의 구현은 강자성 물질에 의하여 반도체에 주입된 spin 편향된 전자가 반도체 계면에 유도된 전기장의 영향을 받아 spin-orbit interaction을 하는 mechanism(Rashbar effect)이 근간을 이루고 있다. 작은 band gap을 가지는 반도체(narrow gap 반도체)는 작은 유효질량의 전자에 의해서 이러한 Rashbar effect[2]를 크게 할 수 있는 물질로서, spin FET 구현을 위한 강력한 후보이며, 요즘 한창 연구되고 있는 주제이기도 하다[3].

Magnetic properties and crystallographic properties of $Cu_{0.95}Ge_{0.95}Fe_{0.1}O_3$ were studied by using x-ray diffraction, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Our sample has orthorhombic structure and the lattice constants are a = 4.795 $\AA$, b = 8.472 $\AA$, c = 2.932 $\AA$. The spin-Peierls (SP) transition temperatures of our sample is 13 K. The Mossbauer spectra consisted with two Zeeman sextets and one doublet due to $Fe^{3+}$ions. The Zeeman sextets come from tetrahedral $Fe^{3+}$ions and the doublets come from octahedral $Fe^{3+}$ions. The jump up of magnetic hyperfine field of 2nd Zeeman sextet and the increasing of the values of quadrupole splitting and isomer shift of doublet below SP transition temperature could be interpreted related with the atomic displacements. The N el temperature is 715 K, the Debye temperature are 540 K for octahedral site and 380 K for tetrahedral site, respectively.

Magnetic properties and crystallographic properties of $Cu_{1-x}Ge_{1-y}Fe_{x+y}O_3$ system were studied by using x-ray diffraction, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and Mossbauer spectroscopy. All the samples have orthorhombic structure and the lattice constants some decreased as the substituted iron contents increasing. The spin-Peierls (SP) transition temperature of our samples are about 12.5 K and these temperatures lowered as increasing substituted iron contents. The Mossbauer spectra consisted with two Zeeman sextets and one doublet due to $Fe^{3+}$ ions. The jump up of magnetic hyperfine field of 2nd Zeeman sextet and the increasing of the values of quadrapole splitting and isomer shift of doublet below SP transition temperature could be interpreted with the variation of the superexchange interaction, the symmetry of lattice sites and the covalency of bonds due to the atomic displacements.
