The spin-double refraction in two-dimensional electron gas
arXiv:cond-mat/0502456 · doi:10.1016/j.spmi.2004.12.009
Abstract
We briefly review the phenomenon of the spin-double refraction that originates at an interface separating a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling from a one without. We demonstrate how this phenomenon in semiconductor heterostructures can produce and control a spin-polarized current without ferromagnetic leads.
