Magnetic Moment Formation in Quantum Point Contacts
P. S. Cornaglia, C. A. Balseiro, M. Avignon
We study the formation of local magnetic moments in quantum point contacts. Using a Hubbard-like model to describe point contacts formed in a two dimensional system, we calculate t…
Theory of Edge States in Systems with Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling
A. Reynoso, Gonzalo Usaj, M. J. Sanchez +1
We study the edge states in a two dimensional electron gas with a transverse magnetic field and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In the bulk, the interplay between the external field pe…
Tuning the Non-local Spin-Spin Interaction between Quantum Dots with a Magnetic Field
Gonzalo Usaj, P. Lustemberg, C. A. Balseiro
We describe a device where the non-local spin-spin interaction between two quantum dots can be turned on and off and even changed sign with a very small magnetic field. The setup c…
Transverse Electron Focusing in Systems with Spin-Orbit Coupling
Gonzalo Usaj, C. A. Balseiro
We study the transverse electron focusing in a two dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show that the interplay between the external magnetic field and the…
Spin Accumulation and Equilibrium Currents at the Edge of 2DEGs with Spin-Orbit Coupling
Gonzalo Usaj, C. A. Balseiro
We show that in a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) the interplay between the Rashba spin-orbit coupling and a potential barrier (eg., the sample edge) generates interesting spin…
