Magnetic flux induced spin polarization in semiconductor multichannel rings with Rashba spin orbit coupling

arXiv:cond-mat/0505394 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.72.205315

Abstract

We show that a finite magnetic flux threading a multichannel semiconductor ring induces spin accumulation at the borders of the sample when the Rashba spin-orbit interaction is taken into account even in the absence of external electric fields.
