A soft wall confinement of the wire renormalizes the spin-orbit parameter (and the effective mass) stronger than hard walls. Electron-electron interactions enhance the Rashba precession while evidence is found that the coupling between transport channels may suppress it.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-06-13T10:30:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rashba precession", "quantum wire", "electron spins reverse direction", "soft wall confinement", "electron-electron interactions enhance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003cond.mat..6359H" } } }
