Pseudospin Transfer Torques in Semiconductor Electron Bilayers    [PDF]

Youngseok Kim, Allan H. MacDonald, Matthew J. Gilbert
We use self-consistent quantum transport theory to investigate the influence
of electron-electron interactions on interlayer transport in semiconductor
electron bilayers in the absence of an external magnetic field. We conclude
that, even though spontaneous pseudospin order does not occur at zero field,
interaction-enhanced quasiparticle tunneling amplitudes and pseudospin transfer
torques do alter tunneling I-V characteristics, and can lead to time-dependent
response to a dc bias voltage.
