Spin-dependent electron transport of a waveguide with Rashba spin--orbit coupling in an electromagnetic field 下载免费PDF全文
We investigate theoretically the spin-dependent electron
transport in a straight waveguide with Rashba spin--orbit coupling
(SOC) under the irradiation of a transversely polarized
electromagnetic (EM) field. Spin-dependent electron conductance and
spin polarization are calculated as functions of the emitting
energy of electrons or the strength of the EM field by adopting the mode
matching approach. It is shown that the spin polarization can be
manipulated by external parameters when the strength of Rashba
SOC is strong. Furthermore, a sharp step structure is found to exist
in the total electron conductance. These results can be understood
by the nontrivial Rashba subbands intermixing and the electron
intersubband transition when a finite-range transversely polarized
EM field irradiates a straight waveguide. 相似文献

Using the tight-binding model approximation, this paper investigates theoretically spin-dependent quantum transport through an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer. An external magnetic field is applied to produce the spinpolarization and spin current. The AB interferometer, acting as a spin splitter, separates the opposite spin polarization current. By adjusting the energy and the direction of the magnetic field, large spin-polarized current can be obtained. 相似文献

We study the spin-dependent transport through a one-dimensional quantum ring with taking both the Rashba spin--orbit coupling (RSOC) and ferromagnetic leads into consideration. The linear conductance is obtained by the Green's function method. We find that due to the quantum interference effect arising from the RSOC-induced spin precession phase and the difference in travelling phase between the two arms of the ring, the conductance becomes spin-polarized even in the antiparallel magnetic configuration of the two leads, which is different from the case in single conduction channel system. The linear conductance, the spin polarization and the tunnel magnetoresistance are periodic functions of the two phases, and can be efficiently tuned by the structure parameters. 相似文献

Spin-polarized quantum transport through an Aharonov--Bohm quantum-dot-ring 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
In this paper the quantum transport through an Aharonov--Bohm (AB)
quantum-dot-ring with two dot-array arms described by a single-band
tight-binding Hamiltonian is investigated in the presence of
additional magnetic fields applied to the dot-array arms to produce
spin flip of electrons. A far richer interference pattern than
that in the charge transport alone is found. Besides the usual AB
oscillation the tunable spin polarization of the current by the
magnetic flux is a new observation and is seen to be particularly
useful in technical applications. The spectrum of transmission
probability is modulated by the quantum dot numbers on the up-arc and down-arc
of the ring, which, however, does not affect the period of the AB
oscillation. 相似文献

Field-assisted electron transport through a symmetric double-well structure with spin--orbit coupling and the Fano-resonance induced spin filtering 下载免费PDF全文
We have investigated theoretically the field-driven electron-transport through a double-quantum-well semiconductor-heterostructure with spin-orbit coupling. The numerical results demonstrate that the transmission spectra are divided into two sets due to the bound-state level-splitting and each set contains two asymmetric resonance peaks which may be selectively suppressed by changing the difference in phase between two driving fields. When the phase difference changes from 0 to π, the dip of asymmetric resonance shifts from one side of resonance peak to the other side and the asymmetric Fano resonance degenerates into the symmetric Breit-Wigner resonance at a critical value of phase difference. Within a given range of incident electron energy, the spin polarization of transmission current is completely governed by the phase difference which may be used to realize the tunable spin filtering. 相似文献

Using an equation of motion technique, we report on a theoretical analysis of transport characteristics of a spin-valve system formed by a quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads, whose magnetic moments are oriented at an angle θ with respect to each other, and a mesoscopic ring by the Anderson Hamiltonian. We analyse the density of states of this system, and our results reveal that the density of states show some noticeable characteristics depending on the relative angle θ of magnetic moment M, and the spin-polarised strength P in ferromagnetic leads, and also the magnetic flux Φ and the number of lattice sites NR in the mesoscopic ring. These effects might have some potential applications in spintronics. 相似文献

Spin-dependent transport characteristics of nanostructures based on armchair arsenene nanoribbons 下载免费PDF全文
By employing non-equilibrium Green's function combined with the spin-polarized density-functional theory, we investigate the spin-dependent electronic transport properties of armchair arsenene nanoribbons(a As NRs). Our results show that the spin-metal and spin-semiconductor properties can be observed in a As NRs with different widths. We also find that there is nearly 100% bipolar spin-filtering behavior in the a As NR-based device with antiparallel spin configuration. Moreover, rectifying behavior and giant magnetoresistance are found in the device. The corresponding physical analyses have been given. 相似文献

Coherent electronic transport through a molecular device is studied using non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism.
Such device is made of atomic nanowire which is connected to ferromagnetic electrodes. The molecule itself is described with
the help of Hubbard model (Coulomb interactions are treated by means of the Hartree-Fock approximation), while the coupling
to the electrodes is modeled through the use of a broad-band theory. It was shown that magnetoresistance varies periodically
with increasing length of the atomic wire (in the linear response regime) and oscillates with increasing bias voltage (in
the nonlinear response regime). Since the TMR effect for analyzed structures is predicted to be large (tens of percent), these
junctions seem to be suitable for application as magnetoresistive elements in future electronic circuits. 相似文献

We have studied the spin-dependent electron transmission through a quantum well driven by both dipole-type and homogeneous oscillating fields. The numerical evaluations show that Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling induces the splitting of asymmetric Fano-type resonance peaks in the conductivity, in which the dipole modulation and the homogeneous modulation are equivalent. Therefore, we predict that the dipole-type oscillation, which is more practical in the experimental setup, can be used to realize the tunable spin filters by adjusting the field oscillation-frequency and the amplitude as well. 相似文献

Quantum resonant tunneling behaviors of double-barrier structures on graphene are investigated under the tightbinding approximation. The Klein tunneling and resonant tunneling are demonstrated for the quasiparticles with energy close to the Dirac points. The Klein tunneling vanishes by increasing the height of the potential barriers to more than 300 meV. The Dirac transport properties continuously change to the Schro¨dinger ones. It is found that the peaks of resonant tunneling approximate to the eigen-levels of graphene nanoribbons under appropriate boundary conditions. A comparison between the zigzag- and armchair-edge barriers is given. 相似文献

We study the thermoelectric transport through a double-quantum-dot system with spin-dependent interdot coupling and ferromagnetic electrodes by means of the non-equilibrium Green’s function in the linear response regime.It is found that the thermoelectric coefficients are strongly dependent on the splitting of the interdot coupling,the relative magnetic configurations,and the spin polarization of leads.In particular,the thermoelectric efficiency can reach a considerable value in the parallel configuration when the effective interdot coupling and the tunnel coupling between the quantum dots and the leads for the spin-down electrons are small.Moreover,the thermoelectric efficiency increases with the intradot Coulomb interaction increasing and can reach very high values at appropriate temperatures.In the presence of the magnetic field,the spin accumulation in the leads strongly suppresses the thermoelectric efficiency,and a pure spin thermopower can be obtained. 相似文献

Possibilities of spatial localization of spin-polarized electrons due to spin–orbit interaction are investigated theoretically. Situations most interesting for us are the ones where electrons of one spin state (helicity) are localized while the opposite helicity relates to extended wave functions. On examples of simplest short range potentials it is shown that such spin separation is, in principle, possible. Magnetic properties of electrons bound to a shallow 2D axially symmetric well are considered. Accounting for the spin–orbit contribution results in an anomalously large effective g-factor of this system. 相似文献

Based on the nonequilibrium Green' function method, the spin-dependent Fano effect through parallel-coupled double quantum dots has been investigated by taking account of both Rashba spin-orbit interaction and intradot Coulomb interaction. It is shown that the quantum interference through the bonding, antibonding states and through their Coulomb blockade counterparts may result in two Breit-Wigner resonances and two Fano resonances in the conductance spectra. Moreover, the Fano lineshape of the two spin components can be modulated by Rashba spin-orbit interaction when the magnetic flux is switched on. 相似文献
