Time reversal Aharonov–Casher effect using Rashba spin–orbit interaction

چکیده
We propose a spin interferometer using Rashba spin–orbit interaction. A spin interference effect is demonstrated in small arrays of mesoscopic InGaAs rings. This spin interference is the time reversal Aharonov– Casher (AC) effect. The AC interference oscillations are controlled over several periods. This result shows evidence for electrical manipulation of the spin precession angle in an InGaAs two-dimensional electron gas channel. We control the precession rate in a precise and predictable way with an electrostatic gate.

Kondo effect in transport throughAharonov-Bohm andAharonov-Casher interferometers
We derive the extension of the Hubbard model to include Rashba spin-orbit coupling that correctly describes Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher phases in a ring under applied magnetic and electric fields. When the ring is connected to conducting leads, we develop a formalism that is able to describe both, Kondo and interference effects. We find that in the Kondo regime, the spin-orbit coupling re...
متن کاملModulating unpolarized current in quantum spintronics: Visibility of spin-interference effects in multichannel Aharonov-Casher mesoscopic rings
The conventional unpolarized current injected into a quantum-coherent semiconductor ring attached to two non-magnetic external leads can be modulated from perfect conductor to perfect insulator limit via electrically tunable Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling, thereby avoiding the usage of any ferromagnetic elements or external magnetic fields. This requires that ballistic propagation of electrons...

Spin-orbit interaction produces persistent spin and mass currents in the ring via the Aharonov-Casher effect. The experiment in 3 He − A 1 phase, in which this effect leads to the excitation of mass and spin supercurrent is proposed.
متن کاملQuantum transport and the electronic Aharonov-Casher effect.
%'e show that the effects of spin-orbit interaction in disordered conductors are manifestations of the Aharonov-Casher effect in the same sense as the effects of weak magnetic fields are manifestations of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We propose that, in semiconducting samples, conductance oscillations should occur due to the Aharonov-Casher effect, whose observation would constitute a thousandfold...

We review recent studies of the shot noise of spin-polarized charge currents and pure spin currents in multiterminal semiconductor nanostructures, while focusing on the effects brought by intrinsic Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling and/or extrinsic SO scattering off impurities. By generalizing the scattering theory of quantum shot noise to include the full spin-density matrix of electrons injecte...
