TLDR
In this article, an electron wave analog of the electro-optic light modulator is proposed, where magnetized contacts are used to preferentially inject and detect specific spin orientations.
Abstract
We propose an electron wave analog of the electro‐optic light modulator. The current modulation in the proposed structure arises from spin precession due to the spin‐orbit coupling in narrow‐gap semiconductors, while magnetized contacts are used to preferentially inject and detect specific spin orientations. This structure may exhibit significant current modulation despite multiple modes, elevated temperatures, or a large applied bias.

Oscillatory effects and the magnetic susceptibility of carriers in inversion layers

TL;DR: In this paper, the spin-orbit interaction Hamiltonian HSO = alpha ( sigma *k) was used to change the usual patterns of B-1-periodic oscillations; some oscillations are strongly suppressed due to the diminishing of the gaps between adjacent levels and new oscillations appear due to intersections of levels.
