Open quantum billiard in a magnetic field: A perfect spin filter

The transport properties of an open system, a circular billiard with attached channels, are studied in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The inclusion of even a weak magnetic field in the structure plane is shown to cause the conductance to become dependent on the spin state of charge carr...

Summary:The transport properties of an open system, a circular billiard with attached channels, are studied in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The inclusion of even a weak magnetic field in the structure plane is shown to cause the conductance to become dependent on the spin state of charge carriers. By choosing the system’s parameters, this property allows a spin filter based on it to be realized.
