A novel method and nanodevice are introduced that allows to rotate the single electron spin confined in a gated electrostatic InSb nanowire quantum dot. Proposed method does not require application of any (oscillating or static) external…

Interacting one-dimensional conductors with Rashba spin-orbit coupling are shown to exhibit a spin-selective Peierls-type transition into a mixed spin-charge-density-wave state. The transition leads to a gap for one-half of the conducting…

The Rashba spin-orbit coupling arising from structure inversion asymmetry couples spin and momentum degrees of freedom providing a suitable (and very intensively investigated) environment for spintronic effects and devices. Here we show…

This article presents an overview of results pertaining to electronic structure, transport properties, and interaction effects in ballistic quantum wires with Rashba spin splitting. Limits of weak and strong spin--orbit coupling are…

Exact wave functions and energy levels are obtained for an electron in a two-dimensional semiconductor circular quantum ring with a confining potential of finite depth in the presence of both an external magnetic field and the Rashba…

We theoretically demonstrate that a rotating electric-field component of circularly polarized microwave or terahertz light can induce electron-spin polarization within a few picoseconds in a two-dimensional electron system with the Rashba…

Changes dopant ion concentrations in the sides of a symmetric quantum well are known to create a random Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling. Here we demonstrate that, as a consequence, a finite size spin-Hall effect is also present. Our…

Electron spins in a semiconductor quantum well couple to an electric field {\it via} spin-orbit interaction. We show that the standard spin-orbit coupling mechanisms can provide extraordinary efficient electron spin manipulation by an…

It was recently shown that a spatially modulated Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a quantum wire drives a transition from a metallic to an insulating state when the wave number of the modulation becomes commensurate with the Fermi wave length…

Increasing the spin-orbit coupling in InGaAs quantum wells is desirable for applications involving spintronics and topological quantum computing. Digital alloying is an approach towards growing ternary quantum wells that enables asymmetric…

We use a mean field approach to study the conductance modulation of gate controlled semiconductor spin interferometers based on the Rashba spin-orbit coupling effect. The conductance modulation is found to be mostly due to Ramsauer type…

The spin-sensitive charge oscillation, controlled by an external magnetic field, was recently proposed as a mechanism of transformations of qubits, defined as two-electron spin-charge Wannier molecules in a square quantum dot. The paper…

We theoretically studied the in-plane tunneling spectroscopy of the hybrid structure composed of a metal and a semiconductor with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We found that the energy spacing between two distinct features in the conductance…

We propose an all-electrical nanoscopic structure where {\em pure} spin current is induced in the transverse voltage probes attached to {\em quantum-coherent} one-dimensional ring when conventional unpolarized charge current is injected…

The strength of the (Rashba-type) spin-orbit coupling in mesoscopic semiconductor rings can be tuned with external gate voltages. Here we consider the case of a periodically changing spin-orbit interaction strength as induced by sinusoidal…

We present numerical calculations of the ballistic spin-transport properties of quasi-one-dimensional wires in the presence of the spin-orbit (Rashba) interaction. A tight-binding analog of the Rashba Hamiltonian which models the Rashba…

We have investigated the transport of spin polarization through a classically chaotic semiconductor loop with a strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We found that if the escape time of a particle is long enough, the configuration averaged…

We show that Rashba spin-orbit coupling may result in an energy gap in the spectrum of electrons in a two-mode quantum wire if a suitable confining potential is chosen. This leads to a dip in the conductance and a spike in the spin current…

We calculate the current-voltage characteristic of a one-dimensional band insulator with magnetic field and Rashba spin-orbit coupling which is connected to nonmagnetic leads. Without spin-orbit coupling we find a complete spin-filtering…

Hole spins in semiconductor quantum dots can be efficiently manipulated with radio-frequency electric fields owing to the strong spin-orbit interactions in the valence bands. Here we show that the motion of the dot in inhomogeneous strain…
