Abstract The Rashba Hamiltonian describes the splitting of the conduction band as a result of spin-orbit coupling in the presence of an asymmetric confinement potential and is …
We present analytical and numerical results for the effect of Rashba spin-orbit coupling on band structure, transport, and interaction effects in quantum wires when the spin precession …
The presence of spin-orbit coupling affects the spontaneously flowing persistent currents in mesoscopic conducting rings. Here we analyze their dependence on magnetic flux with …

Nodal noncentrosymmetric superconductors have topologically nontrivial properties manifested by protected zero-energy surface states. Specifically, it was recently found that …
We analyze symmetries of spin transport in two-terminal quantum waveguide structures with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field modulations. Constraints, imposed by the …

We examine the injection of electron spins from ferromagnets (F) into quasi-two-dimensional electron systems (2DES's) of semiconductors and employ the transfer-matrix formalism to …
We investigate electron transport through a two-dimensional semiconductor with a nonuniform Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Due to the combination of the coherence effect …
We study ballistic transport of spin-polarized electrons through quantum wires in which the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is spatially modulated. Subband mixing, due to SOI …

We predict that in a narrow gap III-V semiconductor quantum well or quantum wire, an observable electron spin current can be generated with a time-dependent gate to modify the …
