We developed the theory of electronic properties of semiconductor quantum rings with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction irradiated by an off-resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field (dressing field). Within the Floquet theory of…

Exploiting inversion symmetry breaking (ISB) in systems with strong spin-orbit coupling promises control of spin through electric fields - crucial to achieve miniaturization in spintronic devices. Delivering on this promise requires a…

We study the effects of electron-electron interactions on the transport properties of a junction of three quantum wires enclosing a magnetic flux. The wires are modeled as single channel spin-1/2 Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids. The system…

We consider a new kind of superconducting proximity effect created by the tunneling of "spin split" Cooper pairs between two conventional superconductors connected by a normal conductor containing a quantum dot. The difference compared to…

Far infrared radiation absorption of a quantum dot with few electrons in an orthogonal magnetic field could monitor the crossover to the fully spin polarized state. A Rashba spin-orbit coupling can tune the energy and the spin density of…

Ballistic electrons confined to a billiard and subject to spin--orbit coupling of the Rashba type are investigated, using both approximate semiclassical and exact quantum--mechanical methods. We focus on the low--energy part of the spectrum…

The Rashba spin-orbit coupling in carbon nanotubes and its effect on spin-dependent transport properties are analyzed theoretically. We focus on clean non-interacting nanotubes with tunable number of subbands $N$. The peculiar band…

A Rashba type spin-orbit splitting is found for quantum well states formed in ultrathin Pb films on Si(111). The resulting momentum splitting is comparable to what is found for semiconductor heterostructures. The splitting shows no coverage…

We analyze the linear conductance of a semiconductor quantum wire containing a region where a local Rashba spin-orbit interaction is present. We show that Fano lineshapes appear in the conductance due to the formation of quasi bound states…

In two-dimensional (2D) hole systems the inversion asymmetry induced spin splitting differs remarkably from its familiar counterpart in the conduction band. While the so-called Rashba spin splitting of electron states increases linearly…

We consider a single electron confined within a quantum wire in a system of two electrostatically-induced QDs defined by nearby gates. The time-varying electric field, of single GHz frequency, perpendicular to the quantum wire, is used to…

We study the performance of a quantum wire spin filter that is based on the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the presence of the electron-electron interaction. The finite length wire is attached to two semi-infinite nonmagnetic leads.…

Suspended nanowires are shown to provide mechanically-controlled coherent mixing/splitting of the spin states of transmitted electrons, caused by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The sensitivity of the latter to mechanical bending makes…

We derive the eigenenergies and eigenstates of electrons in a quantum wire subjected to an external magnetic field. These are calculated in the presence of spin orbit interactions arising from the Rashba (structural inversion asymmetry) and…

The tunability of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling allows to build semiconductor heterostructures with space modulated coupling intensities. We show that a wire-shaped spin-orbit modulation in a quantum well can support propagating electronic…

We investigate theoretically the efficiency of the Rashba effect, i.e. the spin splitting resulting from an electric field. This is the mechanism behind the Datta-Das spin transistor. In the research efforts so far the carriers have usually…

Disorder scattering and spin-orbit coupling are together responsible for the diffusion and relaxation of spin-density in time-reversal invariant systems. We study spin-relaxation and diffusion in a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba…
