Abstract

We consider a two-channel spin transistor with weak spin-orbit induced interband coupling. We show that the coherent transfer of carriers between the coupled channels gives rise to an \textit{additional} spin rotation. We calculate the corresponding spin-resolved current in a Datta-Das geometry and show that a weak interband mixing leads to enhanced spin control.
