High temperature conductance of a two-dimensional superlattice controlled by spin-orbit interaction
arXiv:1503.00882 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.83.115313
Abstract
Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction (SOI) controlled band structure of a two-dimensional superlattice allows for the modulation of the conductance of finite size devices by changing the strength of the SOI. We consider rectangular arrays and find that the temperature dependence of the conductance disappears for high temperatures, but the strength of the SOI still affects the conductance at these temperatures. The modulation effect can be seen even in the presence of strong dephasing, which can be important in case of practical applications.
