量子自旋霍尔圆盘作为自旋旋转器和过滤器

A Quantum Spin Hall Round Disk as a Spin Rotator and Filter

Zhan-Feng Jiang, Wen-Yu Shan

摘要:

本文从理论上研究了量子自旋霍尔圆盘的自旋输运。当一个电子由于边缘态而穿过圆盘时,它的自旋的面内分量可以被穿过圆盘的磁通量旋转。自旋旋转是由于两个具有相反自旋的螺旋边缘态的干涉而发生的,这被认为是自旋空间中的Aharonov-Bohm效应和Berry相位的表现。另外,在适当的磁场和栅压作用下,圆盘对隧穿电流具有自旋过滤效应,当圆盘与引线耦合较弱时,自旋极化率可达100%.

英文摘要:

We study theoretically the spin transport of a Quantum Spin Hall round disk. When an electron traverses the disk in virtue of the edge states, its spin's in-plane component can be rotated by a magnetic flux through the disk. The spin rotation occurs due to the interference of two helical edge states with opposite spins, which is regarded as the Aharonov-Bohm effect in the spin space and a manifestation of the Berry phase. Besides, the disk has a spin filter effect on the tunneling current when we apply an appropriate magnetic field and gate voltage on it. The spin polarization ratio can reach 100% when the couplings between the disk and leads are weak.
