Spin Accumulation in a Quantum Wire with Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling
We investigate theoretically the spin accumulation in a Rashba spin-orbit coupling quantum wire. Using the scattering matrix approach within the effective free-electron approximation, we have demonstrated the three components of spin polarization. It is found that by a few numerical examples, the tw...
