Non-ballistic spin field-effect transistor

John Schliemann, J. Carlos Egues, Daniel Loss

We propose a spin field-effect transistor based on spin-orbit (s-o) coupling of both the Rashba and the Dresselhaus types. Differently from earlier proposals, spin transport throug…

Smearing of charge fluctuations in a grain by spin-flip assisted tunneling

Karyn Le Hur, Pascal Simon

We investigate the charge fluctuations of a grain (large dot) coupled to a lead via a small quantum dot in the Kondo regime. We show that the strong entanglement of charge and spin…
