Sirker" ], "categories": [ "cond-mat.mes-hall", "quant-ph" ], "abstract": "We show that an inhomogeneous magnetic field can turn the spin texture of a two-dimensional single electron into a spin vortex. An analytical relation between the phases of the asymptotic eigenfunction and the components of the magnetic field is derived which reveals that the net topological charge q of the vortex can take on any q in Z. The ground-state spin textures with |q|=1,2 are illustrated numerically.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-22T02:05:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "inhomogeneous magnetic field", "spin vortex", "two-dimensional electron", "ground-state spin textures", "two-dimensional single electron" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
