Efficient spin filter using multi-terminal quantum dot with spin-orbit interaction

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We propose a multi-terminal spin filter using a quantum dot with spin-orbit interaction. First, we formulate the spin Hall effect (SHE) in a quantum dot connected to three leads. We show that the SHE is significantly enhanced by the resonant tunneling if the leve...
