Mesoscopic Stern-Gerlach spin filter by nonuniform spin-orbit interaction
A spin filtering in a two-dimensional electron system with nonuniform spin-orbit interactions (SOI) is theoretically studied. The strength of SOI is modulated perpendicular to the charge current. A spatial gradient of effective magnetic field due to the nonuniform SOI causes the Stern-Gerlach-type spin separation. The direction of the polarization is …
