Spin-polarized Electric Current Induced by Giant Rashba Effect

Research Project Outline

The researchers have recently found a giant Rashba effect, which surpassed the previous record by nearly an order of magnitude. The effect will enable us to control the motion of interface electrons according to their spin states without external magnetic field or magnets. In this research program, we develop novel means to generate electric current with a specified spin state and to distinguish spin states of electrons.
