The effective magnetic field includes the externally applied field, as well as the field due to polarized nuclear spins. The interplay of the spin-orbit interaction with effective magnetic field significantly modifies the band structure, producing additional sub-band extrema and energy gaps, introducing the dependence of the sub-band energies on the field direction. We generalize the Landauer formula at finite temperatures to incorporate these special features of the dispersion relation. The obtained formula describes the conductance of a ballistic conductor with an arbitrary dispersion relation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2004-02-18T01:27:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "in-plane magnetic field", "spin-orbit interaction", "quasi-one-dimensional system", "magnetic field significantly modifies", "conductance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
