Spin current and polarization in impure two-dimensional electron systems with spin-orbit coupling.
We derive the transport equations for two-dimensional electron systems with Rashba spin-orbit interaction and short-range spin-independent disorder. In the limit of slow spatial variations, we obtain coupled diffusion equations for the electron density and spin. Using these equations we calculate electric-field induced spin accumulation and spin current in a finite-size sample for an arbitrary ...
متن کاملSpin-Orbit Based Coherent Spin Ratchets
The concept of ratchets, driven asymmetric periodic structures giving rise to directed particle flow, has recently been generalized to a quantum ratchet mechanism for spin currents mediated through spin-orbit interaction. Here we consider such systems in the coherent mesoscopic regime and generalize the proposal of a minimal spin ratchet model based on a non-interacting clean quantum wire with ...
متن کاملSpin-orbit-mediated anisotropic spin interaction in interacting electron systems.
We investigate interactions between spins of strongly correlated electrons subject to the spin-orbit interaction. Our main finding is that of a novel, spin-orbit mediated anisotropic spin-spin coupling of the van der Waals type. Unlike the standard exchange, this interaction does not require the wave functions to overlap. We argue that this ferromagnetic interaction is important in the Wigner c...
متن کاملEnhancement of Electron Spin Polarization in Semiconductors
An extension of the original Overhauser effect to a more general nonequi-librium state was proposed by G. Feher, and demonstrated by Clark and Feher some forty years ago. It is suggested here that it might be possible to produce excess electron spin polarization by allowing the role of the nuclei to be played by other magnetic entities, such as paramagnetic impurities or adjacent magnetically o...
متن کاملSpin polarization of electron current through a potential barrier in two-dimensional structures with spin-orbit interaction.
We show that an initially unpolarized electron flow acquires spin polarization after passing through a lateral barrier in a two-dimensional (2D) system with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) even if the current is directed normally to the barrier. The generated spin current depends on the distance from the barrier. It oscillates with the distance in the vicinity of the barrier and asymptotically rea...
