Ever since its discovery the notion of Berry phase has permeated through all branches of
physics. Over the past three decades it was gradually realized that the Berry phase of the …

Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

We introduce and analyze a class of one-dimensional insulating Hamiltonians that, when
adiabatically varied in an appropriate closed cycle, define a “Z 2 pump.” For an isolated …

Spintronics holds the promise for future information technologies. Devices based on
manipulation of spin are most likely to replace the current silicon complementary metal …

In this review article we describe spin-dependent transport in materials with spin–orbit
interaction of Rashba type. We mainly focus on semiconductor heterostructures, however we …

We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

We demonstrate the operation of a quantum spin pump based on cyclic radio-frequency
excitation of a GaAs quantum dot, including the ability to pump pure spin without pumping …

We propose a new idea to generate pure spin current with photogalvanic effect (PGE) by
designing devices with spatial inversion symmetry based on two-dimensional spin …

We propose, theoretically, a type of quantum field effect transistor that operates purely on the
flow of spin current in the absence of charge current. This spin field effect transistor (SFET) is …

We present the relation between the Floquet scattering matrix and the nonequilibrium
Green's function formalisms to transport theory in noninteracting electronic systems in …
