Resonance Features of the Conductance of Open Billiards with the Spin-Orbit Interaction

Abstract

The transport properties of a circular billiard with attached channels, which is an open system, have been studied in the presence of the Dresselhaus and Rashba spin-orbit interactions. It has been shown that this interaction leads to the appearance of additional Fano resonances in the energy dependence of the conductance, the width of which is proportional to the fourth power of the spin-orbit coupling constant.
