In a recent Rapid Communication (Phys. Rev. B {\bf 63}, 121210(R) (2001)), Ha\"usler showed that the interaction between electrons in quantum wires may enhance the persistent spin current arising from Rashba spin-orbital coupling. In this…
In this paper,we present a detailed formulation to solve the scattering wave function for a multi-terminal mesoscopic system with spin-orbit coupling. In addition to terminal currents, all local quantities can be calculated explicitly by…
We find that in order to completely describe the spin transport, apart from spin current (or linear spin current), one has to introduce the angular spin current. The two spin currents respectively describe the translational and rotational…
By viewing current in the detecting lead of a spintronic device as being an ensemble of flowing spins corresponding to a mixed quantum state, where each spin itself is generally described by an improper mixture generated during the…
We investigate the production of spin-polarized currents in corrugated graphene nanoribbons. Such corrugations are modeled as multiple regions with Rashba spin-orbit interactions, where concave and convex curvatures are treated as Rashba…
All-electric devices for the generation and filtering of spin currents are of crucial importance for spintronics experiments and applications. Here we consider a quantum dot between two metallic leads in the presence of spin-orbit coupling,…
We present an analysis of the symmetries of the interference pattern of critical currents through a two-dimensional superconductor-semiconductor-superconductor junction, taking into account Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction, an…
We describe the implementation of total angular momentum dependent pseudopotentials in a plane wave formulation of density functional theory. Our approach thus goes beyond the scalar-relativistic approximation usually made in ab initio…
We put forward a new approach based on Green's function formalism to evaluate precisely persistent charge and spin currents in an Aharonov-Bohm ring subjected to Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. Unlike conventional methods…
Spin torques play a crucial role in operative properties of modern spintronic devices. To study current-driven magnetization dynamics, spin-torque terms providing the action of spin-polarized currents have previously often been added in a…
We consider determination of spin-orbit (SO) coupling constants for the two-dimensional electron gas from measurements of electric properties in rotated in-plane magnetic field. %Due to the interplay Due to the SO coupling the electron…
Current-induced spin polarization (CISP) is rederived in ballistic spin-orbit-coupled electron systems, based on equilibrium statistical mechanics. A simple and useful picture is correspondingly proposed to help understand the CISP and…
For certain non-magnetic solids with low symmetry the occurrence of spin-polarized longitudinal currents is predicted. These arise due to an interplay of spin-orbit interaction and the particular crystal symmetry. This result is derived…
The total angular momentum of a close system is a conserved quantity, which should remain constant in time for any excitation experiment once the pumping signal has extinguished. Such conservation, however, is never satisfied in practice in…
Using a tight-biding model, we elaborate that the previously discovered out-of-plane polarized helical edge spin current caused by Rashba spin-orbit coupling can be attributed to the fact that in a strip geometry, a positive momentum…
We demonstrate that the combined effect of a spatially periodic potential, lateral confinement and spin-orbit interaction gives rise to a quantum ratchet mechanism for spin-polarized currents in two-dimensional coherent conductors. Upon…
The spin current and spin conductivity is computed through thermally driven stochastic process. By evaluating the Kramers equation and with the help of $\vec{k}.\vec{p}$ method we have studied the spin Hall scenario. Due to the thermal…
We find that in order to completely describe the spin transport, apart from spin current (or linear spin current), one has to introduce the angular spin current. The two spin currents respectively describe the translational and rotational…
We consider a two-dimensional system of harmonically trapped particles with pseudo-spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ degree of freedom. This degree of freedom is coupled to the particle's momentum via the so-called Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We…
We present generalized scattering theory for multi-terminal spin transport in systems with broken SU(2) symmetry either due to spin-orbit interaction,magnetic impurities or magnetic leads. We derive equation for spin current consistent with…
