Spin polarization control by electric stirring: proposal for a spintronic device
arXiv:0906.0039 · doi:10.1063/1.3180494
Abstract
We propose a spintronic device to generate spin polarization in a mesoscopic region by purely electric means. We show that the spin Hall effect in combination with the stirring effect are sufficient to induce measurable spin polarization in a closed geometry. Our device structure does not require the application of magnetic fields, external radiation or ferromagnetic leads, and can be implemented in standard semiconducting materials.
