Magnetic switching of spin-scattering centers in Dresselhaus [110] circuits
arXiv:2302.11271 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.035308
Abstract
Spin carriers subject to Dresselhaus [110] (D110) spin-orbit coupling (SOC) gather null spin phases in closed circuits, contrary to usual Rashba and Dresselhaus [001] SOC. We show that D110 spin phases can be activated in square circuits by introducing an in-plane Zeeman field, where localized field inhomogeneities act as effective spin-scattering centers. Our simulations show rich interference patterns in the quantum conductance, which work as maps for a geometric classification of the propagating spin states. We also find that disorder facilitates low-field implementations.
