Spin-polarized transport in a two-dimensional electron gas with interdigital- ferromagnetic contacts

Ballistic spin transport in a two-dimensional electron gas

We explore electrically injected, spin-polarized transport in a ballistic two-dimensional electron gas. We augment the Büttiker-Landauer picture with a simple, but realistic model for spin-selective contacts to describe multimode reservoir-to-reservoir transport of ballistic spin-1/2 particles. Clear and unambiguous signatures of spin transport are established in this regime, for the simplest m...

Spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas at oxide interfaces.

The possibility of formation of a fully spin-polarized 2D electron gas at the SrMnO_3/(LaMnO_3)_1/SrMnO_3 heterostructure is predicted from density-functional calculations. The La(d) electrons become confined in the direction normal to the interface in the electrostatic potential well of the positively charged layer of La atoms, acting as electron donors. These electrons mediate a ferromagnetic...

Spin-Hall conductivity of a spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit interaction and magnetic impurities

Abstract The Kubo formula is used to calculate the spin-Hall conductivity σsH in a spin-polarized twodimensional electron system with Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction. As in the case of the unpolarized electron system, σsH is entirely determined by states at the Fermi level, a property that maintains in the presence of magnetic impurities. In the clean limit, the spin-Hall conductivity decrea...

Long-wavelength collective excitations in a two-dimensional spin-polarized electron gas: A phenomenological theory

The dispersion relations of the collective excitations induced in a 2D spin-polarized electron gas are derived within the framework of the Landau-Silin theory applied to a two-component Fermi liquid. The quasiparticle interaction is described by spin-dependent coefficients, which are parametric functions of the initial degree of polarization. The motion of the low-energy excitations satisfies a...
