Giant g-factors and fully spin-polarized states in metamorphic short-period InAsSb/InSb superlattices
read the original abstract
Realizing a large Land\'{e} $g$-factor of electrons in solid-state materials has long been thought of as a rewarding task as it can trigger abundant immediate applications in spintronics and quantum computing. Here, by using metamorphic InAsSb/InSb superlattices (SLs), we demonstrate an unprecedented high value of $g\approx 104$, twice larger than that in bulk InSb, and fully spin-polarized states at low magnetic fields. In addition, we show that the $g$-factor can be tuned on demand from 20 to 110 via varying the SL period. The key ingredients of such a wide tunability are the wavefunction mixing and overlap between the electron and hole states, which have drawn little attention in prior studies. Our work not only establishes metamorphic InAsSb/InSb as a promising and competitive material platform for future quantum devices but also provides a new route toward $g$-factor engineering in semiconductor structures.
