Spin polarization control by electric stirring: proposal for a spintronic device
Yu. V. Pershin, N. A. Sinitsyn, A. Kogan +2
We propose a spintronic device to generate spin polarization in a mesoscopic region by purely electric means. We show that the spin Hall effect in combination with the stirring eff…
Current-voltage characteristics of semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions in the spin blockade regime
Yu. V. Pershin, M. Di Ventra
It was recently predicted [Phys. Rev. B 75, 193301 (2007)] that spin blockade may develop at nonmagnetic semiconductor/perfect ferromagnet junctions when the electron flow is direc…
Hall Voltage with the Spin Hall Effect
Yu. V. Pershin, M. Di Ventra
The spin Hall effect does not generally result in a charge Hall voltage. We predict that in systems with inhomogeneous electron density in the direction perpendicular to main curre…
Spin blockade at semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions
Yu. V. Pershin, M. Di Ventra
We study theoretically extraction of spin-polarized electrons at nonmagnetic semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions. The outflow of majority spin electrons from the semiconductor into…
Radiation-induced current in quantum wires with side-coupled nano-rings
Yuriy V. Pershin, Carlo Piermarocchi
Photocurrent generation is studied in a system composed of a quantum wire with side-coupled quantum rings. The current generation results from the interplay of the particular geome…
Theory of cavity-polariton self-trapping and optical strain in polymer chains
M. V. Katkov, Y. V. Pershin, C. Piermarocchi
We consider a semiconductor polymer chain coupled to a single electromagnetic mode in a cavity. The excitations of the chain have a mixed exciton-photon character and are described…
