Spin Resonance and dc Current Generation in a Quantum Wire

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2013-05-30 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

We show that in a quantum wire the spin-orbit interaction leads to a narrow spin resonance at low temperatures, even in the absence of an external magnetic field. Resonance absorption by linearly polarized radiation gives a dc spin current; resonance absorption by circularly polarized radiation gives a dc electric current or magnetization.
