We study the effect of an electric charge in the middle of a ring of electrons in a magnetic field such as $\nu = 1/2$. In the absence of the central charge, a residual current should appear due to an Aharanov-Bohm effect. As the charge…
We show that a quantum wire device with spin splitting can work as an active spin polarizer. Hot electrons in one `spin' subband (e.g. `spin-up') may pass such a device with weak electron pair scattering, while electrons in the opposite…
