Particle and spin transports of spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas through a Quantum Point Contact
arXiv:2111.11054 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.105.043313
Abstract
The particle and spin transport through a quantum point contact between two Fermi gases with Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling are investigated. We show that the particle and spin conductances both demonstrate the structure of plateau due to the mesoscopic scale of the quantum point contact. Compared with the normal Fermi gases the particle conductance can be significantly enhanced by the spin-orbit coupling effect. Furthermore, the conversion of the particle and spin currents can take place in the spin-orbit coupled system, and we find that it is controlled by the parameter of two-photon detuning. When the parameter of two-photon detuning vanishes the particle and spin currents decouple.
