Quantum ring with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the regime of strong light-matter coupling. Physical Review B, 97(15), 155434. doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.97.1554342469-99502469-9969 (eISSN)https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11815/1053Publisher's version (útgefin grein)We developed the theory of electronic properties of semiconductor quantum rings with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction irradiated by an off-resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field (dressing field). Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, it is demonstrated that the dressing field drastically modifies all electronic characteristics of the rings, including spin-orbit coupling, effective electron mass, and optical response. In particular, the present effect paves the way to controlling the spin polarization of electrons with light in prospective ring-shaped spintronic devices.155434eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRashba couplingSpintronicsNanostructuresCondensed Matter & Materials PhysicsÞéttefnisfræðiRafeindirRafsegulfræðiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlePhysical Review B10.1103/PhysRevB.97.155434
