Spin-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-to-charge conversion of mesoscopic spin currents.
Recent theoretical investigations have shown that spin currents can be generated by passing electric currents through spin-orbit coupled mesoscopic systems. Measuring these spin currents has, however, not been achieved to date. We show how mesoscopic spin currents in lateral heterostructures can be measured with a single-channel voltage probe. In the presence of a spin current, the charge curre...
متن کاملElectronic properties of mesoscopic graphene structures: Charge confinement and control of spin and charge transport
This brief review discusses electronic properties of mesoscopic graphene-based structures. These allow controlling the confinement and transport of charge and spin; thus, they are of interest not only for fundamental research, but also for applications. The graphenerelated topics covered here are: edges, nanoribbons, quantum dots, pn-junctions, pnpstructures, and quantum barriers and waveguides...
متن کاملElectron scattering from a mesoscopic disk in Rashba system
Electrons with spin-orbit coupling moving in mesoscopic structures can often exhibit local spin polarization. In this paper, we study the influence of the Rashba coupling on the scattering of two-dimensional electrons from a circular disk. It is observed that spin-polarized regions exist, even if the incident electrons are unpolarized. In addition to the distributions of charge and spin current...

We study numerically the electronic heat capacity, spin and charge current in a diffusive Superconductor-Ferromagnetic-Superconductor systems، with singlet superconducting leads and non-uniform ferromagnetic layer. Specially, we focus on ferromagnetic layer with domain wall and conical structures incorporation the spin-active interfaces. We investigate, how the 0-π transition is influenced by n...
