Spin-orbit driven electrical manipulation of the zero-field splitting in high-spin centers in solids
Timur Biktagirov, U. Gerstmann
Abstract
The spin-orbit coupling in solid state spin qubits allows for the lifting of spin degeneracy in the absence of an external magnetic field. The paper presents a theoretical framework to address this zero-field splitting in extended periodic systems, unravels its microscopic origin, and showcases its implications for coherent electrical control.
