It is shown that the spin conductance oscillation with the semiconductor channel length is a superimposition of the Rashba spin precession and spin interference oscillations. They have different oscillation periods π/κR and π/κ with κR the Rashba wavevector and κ the Fermi wavevector of the semiconductor channel, and play different parts of slow and rapid oscillations, depending upon the relative magnitude of π/κR and π/κ. Only at κ = κR does the spin conductance exhibit oscillations of a single period. Two types of different behaviors of the tunnelling magnetoresistance are discussed.展开更多
