Abstract

We study the spin transport in a quasi-one-dimensional channel defined in a two-dimensional electron gas. The combined action of geometrical confinement and the spin precession is analyzed. We demonstrate that for certain orientations of the in-plane magnetic field and for specific range of its magnitude the spin polarization exhibits a strong decrease referred to as ballistic spin resonance (BSR). The phenomenon is due to the commensuration of the Zeeman and inter-subband energy splitting. We show that the BSR requires a finite spin-orbit (SO) interaction although the condition for the BSR onset is independent on SO coupling.
