Applying Griffith's boundary conditions we derive analytic expressions for the reflection and transmission coefficients of the corresponding one-electron scattering problem. We generalize earlier conductance results by Nitta et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 75, 695 (1999)] and investigate the influence of \\alpha, temperature, and a weak magnetic field on the conductance. Varying \\alpha and temperature changes the position of the minima and maxima of the magnetic-field dependent conductance, and it may even convert a maximum into a minimum and vice versa.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-07-20T22:58:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin-orbit interaction", "spin-dependent", "applying griffiths boundary conditions", "perpendicular magnetic field", "magnetic-field dependent conductance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
