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.

Spin transport of electrons through quantum wires with a spatially modulated Rashba spin-orbit interaction

Cubic Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling in 2D electron quantum dots

TL;DR: The magnitude of the spin-orbit induced avoided crossings in a closed quantum dot in a Zeeman field using a semiclassical billiard model and previous analyses based on random matrix theory suggests that the GaAs Dresselhaus coupling constant gamma is approximately 9 eV A3, significantly less than the commonly cited value.

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.

Coupling of electronic charge and spin at a ferromagnetic-paramagnetic metal interface.

TL;DR: A new technique to measure conduction electron relaxation times is described, using nonequilibrium magnetization present in a paramagnetic metal can be detected as an open circuit voltage across an interface between the paramagnet and a ferromagnet.

Spin splitting in semiconductor heterostructures for B-->0.

TL;DR: This work shows for AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures how this finite spin splitting at B=0 evolves from the Zeeman splitting for B\ensuremath{ e}0 and predicts a vanishingspin splitting at a finite -magnetic- field \char22{}, which depends on the electron concentration in the inversion layer.

On the possibility of transistor action based on quantum interference phenomena

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study of quantum interference phenomena in a T-shaped semiconductor structure is presented, and the results resemble the well-known solutions for the electromagnetic field in waveguides with the main difference that penetration of the wave function of the electrons can be controlled by external voltages.
