Abstract:
The low-energy effective Hamiltonian of the strong 'spin'-orbit coupled one-dimensional hole gas in a cylindrical Ge nanowire in the presence of a strong magnetic field is studied both numerically and analytically. Basing on the Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian in the spherical approximation, we show this strong 'spin'-orbit coupled one-dimensional hole gas can be accurately described by an effective two-band HamiltonianHef=ℏ2kz2/(2mh∗)+ασxkz+gh∗μBBσz/2, as long as the magnetic field is purely longitudinal or purely transverse. The explicit magnetic field dependent expressions of the 'spin'-orbit couplingα≡α(B)and the effectiveg-factorgh∗≡gh∗(B)are given. When the magnetic field is applied in an arbitrary direction, the two-band Hamiltonian description is still a good approximation.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
