Universal Spin and Charge Fluctuations in Quantum Dots with Rashba Spin-Orbit Interaction — •Juan-Diego Urbina1, Diego Espitia1,2, Dominik Bauernfeind1,3, and Klaus Richter11Universitaet Regensburg — 2Universidad Pedagogica y Tecnologica de Colombia — 3Harvard University

We present a novel approach to study spin and charge fluctuations in quantum dots subject to Rashba spin-orbit interaction. From the numerical side we present a spinorial implementation of the Plane Wave Decomposition Method (widely used in non-spin billiards) which allows us to efficiently construct eigenstates and energies of Rashba billiards. The method can be applied to dots with arbitrary shape and with spin-orbit interaction of any strength. With this technique we calculate exact spatial correlations for a dot with irregular shape. The results are then used to test the universal prediction given by a spinorial version of the celebrated Berry's ansatz presented here for the first time.

Our results fully support the claim that the spin-spin, charge-charge and spin-charge correlations in typical quantum dots with Rashba interaction are described by a spinorial Gaussian Random Field universally characterized by its two-point correlation matrix, which is presented in closed analytical form.
