Can Non-Equilibrium Spin Hall Accumulation be Induced in Ballistic Nanostructures?
Branislav K. Nikolic, Satofumi Souma, Liviu P. Zarbo +1
We demonstrate that flow of longitudinal unpolarized current through a ballistic two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling will induce nonequilibrium spin accumu…
Spin Hall Current Driven by Quantum Interferences in Mesoscopic Rashba Rings
Satofumi Souma, Branislav K. Nikolic
We propose an all-electrical nanoscopic structure where {\em pure} spin current is induced in the transverse voltage probes attached to {\em quantum-coherent} one-dimensional ring…
Mesoscopic Spin Hall Effect in Multiprobe Ballistic Spin-Orbit Coupled Semiconductor Bridges
Branislav K. Nikolic, Liviu P. Zarbo, Satofumi Souma
We predict that unpolarized charge current driven through the longitudinal leads attached to ballistic quantum-coherent two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in semiconductor heteros…
Controlling Decoherence of Transported Quantum Spin Information in Semiconductor Spintronics
Branislav K. Nikolic, Satofumi Souma
We investigate quantum coherence of electron spin transported through a semiconductor spintronic device, where spins are envisaged to be controlled by electrical means via spin-orb…
Modulating Unpolarized Current in Quantum Spintronics: Visibility of Spin-Interference Effects in Multichannel Aharonov-Casher Mesoscopic Rings
Satofumi Souma, Branislav K. Nikolic
The conventional unpolarized current injected into a {\em quantum-coherent} semiconductor ring attached to two external leads can be modulated from perfect conductor to perfect ins…
Quantum Transparency of Anderson Insulator Junctions: Statistics of Transmission Eigenvalues, Shot Noise, and Proximity Conductance
Branislav K. Nikolic, Ralitsa L. Dragomirova
We investigate quantum transport through strongly disordered barriers, made of a material with exceptionally high resistivity that behaves as an Anderson insulator or a ``bad metal…
Decoherence of transported spin in multichannel spin-orbit coupled spintronic devices: Scattering approach to spin density matrix from the ballistic to the localized regime
Branislav K. Nikolic, Satofumi Souma
By viewing current in the detecting lead of a spintronic device as being an ensemble of flowing spins corresponding to a mixed quantum state, where each spin itself is generally de…
