Modelling transport properties using the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism: Transverse magnetic focusing in a two-dimensional hole gas

Recent experiments have demonstrated that holes in a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) can be focused using a transverse magnetic field to create a viable spin filter [1].

While transverse magnetic focusing (TMF) has been studied extensively in two-dimensional electron gases, theoretical studies on TMF in 2DHGs is sparse as of this writing. We demonstrate that numerical modelling allows us to better interpret and understand the results of 2DHG TMF experiments.
