We show that this spin-current is a property of the Fermi-Dirac sea, and is controlled by a geometric phase accumulated by the strain-induced Rashba parameters in a cycle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-11-11T19:49:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin current", "external stress", "example iii-v compound", "traveling shear wave", "semiconductors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005cond.mat.11270S" } } }
