It is shown that due to spin-orbit effects the reflected beam split in two beams gives rise to multiple reflection analogous to phenomena birefringence. The interplay between Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling gives rise to anisotropy in Fermi energy surface and a non-zero net spin-polarized current oscillating with two frequencies for all the values of incident angle except at $45^{o}$ when averaged over all components of reflected beam. It is also shown that in over critical region, all the three polarization components as well as net polarization has non-zero values and are exponentially decaying as distance from the barrier increases which in turns spin-accumulation near the barrier is an important consequence of spin-hall effect.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-04-05T09:59:47.000Z", "title": "Spin accumulation due to double refraction at lithographic boundaries", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null, "authors": [ "Shishir Kumar Pandey" ] }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2018-08-06T14:08:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin accumulation", "lithographic boundaries", "double refraction", "net spin-polarized current oscillating", "dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1404.1453P" } } }
