Spin and charge transport through helical Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with strong magnetic impurity
arXiv:2101.08601 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.103.125428
Abstract
We discuss transport through an interferometer formed by helical edge states of the quantum spin Hall insulator. Focusing on effects induced by a strong magnetic impurity placed in one of the arms of interferometer, we consider the experimentally relevant case of relatively high temperature as compared to the level spacing. We obtain the conductance and the spin polarization in the closed form for arbitrary tunneling amplitude of the contacts and arbitrary strength of the magnetic impurity. We demonstrate the existence of quantum effects which do not show up in previously studied case of weak magnetic disorder. We find optimal conditions for spin filtering and demonstrate that the spin polarization of outgoing electrons can reach 100%.
