摘要
本文研究了在非对称限制势下由Rashba效应和横向自旋-轨道耦合诱发的量子点接触系统中的反常量子输运行为.研究发现,在一定范围的Rashba相互作用强度下,电导在0.8×2e^2/h附近有一个较弱的坪台.该坪台电导的值与非对称限制势的偏压有关.在某个范围的偏压下,它会随着偏压的增大而减小.另外,由于Rashba自旋-轨道耦合效应,在非对称限制势作用下电子将会自旋极化.因此,在没有任何外加磁场的情况下,采用纯电学手段即可做成量子点接触自旋偏振器.
We study the abnormal quantum transport through quantum point contact systems with Rashba effect and lateral spin-orbit coupling under asymmetric confinement geometries.We find that for a certain range of Rashba interaction strength,the conductance has a weak plateau around 0.8×2 e^2/h.The value of this anomalous plateau is dependent on the voltage bias of the asymmetric confinement.We find that for a certain range of voltage bias,this weak plateau is lowered slightly with increasing the voltage bias.Furthermore,we find that the asymmetric confinement gives rises to a nonzero spin polarization due to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling.Therefore,we can make such quantum point contact spin-polarizer by purely electrical means in the absence of any applied external magnetic field.
