In this article, a character table for the group of the wave vector at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone is given, and a possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure is presented.
Abstract
Character tables for the "group of the wave vector" at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone are given. The additional degeneracies due to time reversal symmetry are indicated. The form of energy vs wave vector at these points of symmetry is derived. A possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure will be presented.

Magnetotransport properties of individual InAs nanowires

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetotransport properties of individual InAs nanowires in a field-effect transistor geometry were investigated, and the role of skipping orbits and the nature of surface scattering is essential in understanding high-field magnetotranport in nanowsires.

Pure spin current from one-photon absorption of linearly polarized light in noncentrosymmetric semiconductors.

TL;DR: It is shown that one-photon absorption of linearly polarized light should produce pure spin currents in noncentrosymmetric semiconductors, including even bulk GaAs and wurtzite CdSe.

Controlling a nanowire spin-orbit qubit via electric-dipole spin resonance.

TL;DR: It is found that there is an optimal SOC strength η(opt)=√2/2, where the Rabi frequency induced by the ac electric field becomes maximal, and it is shown that both the level spacing and the RBI frequency of the spin-orbit qubit have periodic responses to the direction of the external static magnetic field.
