Abstract

The spin-dependent electron transport has been studied in magnetic semiconductor waveguides (nanowires) in the helical magnetic field. We have shown that -- apart from the known conductance dip located at the magnetic field equal to the helical-field amplitude BhB_h -- the additional conductance dips (with zero conductance) appear at magnetic field different from BhB_h. This effect occuring in the non-adiabatic regime is explained as resulting from the resonant Landau-Zener transitions between the spin-splitted subbands.
