  "abstract": "One-dimensional quantum wires are considered as prospective elements for spin transport and manipulation in spintronics. We study spin dynamics in semiconductor GaAs-like nanowires with disorder and spin-orbit interaction by using a rotation in the spin subspace gauging away the spin-orbit field. If the disorder is sufficiently strong, the spin density after a relatively short relaxation time reaches a plateau. This effect is a manifestation of the Anderson localization and depends in a universal way on the disorder and the spin-orbit coupling strength. As a result, at a given disorder, semiconductor nanowires can permit a long-term spin polarization tunable with the spin-orbit interactions.",
