In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As quantum wells (QWs). In this experiment, we demonstrated electron spin precession in ballistic channels within the QW that is caused by the Rashba effect. It turned out that the spin precession angle θ was gate controllable by more than 0.75π for a length of 1.5 µm. Thus, the demonstration of the large controllability of θ by the applied gate voltage was carried out in a more direct way using spin interference of an electron wave function than the conventional beating analysis of the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations.American Physical Society2006-07engjournal articleVoRhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/14613http://www.aps.org/https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.74.0413020163-18291095-3795Physical Review B744041302https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/14613/1/PRB2006-74-4.pdfapplication/pdf614.84 KB2006-07
