All-electric spin transistor based on a side-gate-modulated two-dimensional topological insulator

Xianbo Xiao, Ying Liu, Zhengfang Liu +3

We propose and investigate a spin transistor device consisting of two ferromagnetic leads connected by a two-dimensional topological insulator as the channel material. It exploits…

Spin-filtering and charge- and spin-switching effects in a quantum wire with periodically attached stubs

Xianbo Xiao, Zhaoxia Chen, Zhiming Rao +2

Spin-dependent electron transport in a periodically stubbed quantum wire in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is studied via the nonequilibrium Green's function m…
