Anomalous Zeeman effect in SrTiO3 and its possible all-electric detection

  • 1. Department of Physics, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA

Description

We show that the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and cubic symmetry breaking in SrTiO3 results in a highly anomalous Zeeman effect of conduction electrons substantially different among the three conduction subbands and strongly dependent on their splitting. This effect can be measured via electrically driven spin resonance enabled by the interplay between electron hopping and spin-orbit coupling, and enhanced by the near degeneracy of the conduction subbands. The proposed effects can provide a unique insight into the electronic properties of SrTiO3 and its heterostructures.
