Abstract: We have investigated the values of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling constant α in In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As quantum wells using the weak antilocalization (WAL) analysis as a function of the structural inversion asymmetry (SIA) of the quantum wells. We have found that the deduced α values have a strong correlation with the degree of SIA of the quantum wells as predicted theoretically. The good agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of α suggests that our WAL approach for deducing α values provides a useful tool in designing future spintronics devices that utilize the Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
