Electron scattering from a mesoscopic disk in Rashba system
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 in the near-field region, we also analyze the symmetry and the differential cross-section of the scattering.

noise for entangled and spin - polarized electrons
We review our recent contributions on shot noise for entangled electrons and spin-polarized currents in novel mesoscopic geometries. We first discuss some of our recent proposals for electron entanglers involving a superconductor coupled to a double dot in the Coulomb blockade regime, a superconductor tunnel-coupled to Luttinger-liquid leads, and a triple-dot setup coupled to Fermi leads. We br...
متن کاملEntanglement of Electron Spin and Orbital States in Spintronic Quantum Transport
An electron within a mesoscopic (quantum-coherent) spintronic structure is described by a single wave function which, in the presence of both charge scattering and spin-orbit coupling, encodes an information about entanglement of its spin and orbital degrees of freedom. The quantum state—an improper mixture—of experimentally detectable spin subsystem is elucidated by evaluating quantum informat...
متن کاملCharge and Spin Effects in Mesoscopic Josephson Junctions
We consider the charge and spin effects in low dimensional superconducting weak links. The first part of the review deals with the effects of electron-electron interaction in Superconductor/Luttinger liquid/Superconductor junctions. The experimental realization of this mesoscopic hybrid system can be the individual single wall carbon nanotube that bridges the gap between two bulk superconductor...
متن کاملMesoscopic spin Hall effect in multiprobe ballistic spin-orbit-coupled semiconductor bridges
We predict that unpolarized charge current driven through the longitudinal leads attached to ballistic quantum-coherent two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG in semiconductor heterostructure will induce a pure spin current, which is not accompanied by any net charge flow, in the transverse voltage probes. Its magnitude can be tuned by the Rashba spin-orbit SO coupling and, moreover, it is resilient...
متن کاملMesoscopic Spin Hall Effect in Multiprobe Semiconductor Bridges
We predict that pure spin current flowing through the transverse leads of quantumcoherent two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), which is induced by conventional unpolarized charge current driven through the longitudinal leads, can be tuned by the Rashba spin-orbit (SO) interaction and will decay only when disorder is sufficiently strong (but before electrons become localized). Furthermore, the p...
