Spin-dependent hole quantum transport in Aharonov-Bohm ring structure: possible schemes for spin filter

We study the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in two-dimensional mesoscopic frame in hole systems. We show that differing from the AB effect in electron systems, due to the presence of both the heavy hole and the light hole, the conductances not only show the normal spin-unresolved AB oscillations, but also become spin-separated. Some schemes for spin filter based on the abundant interference characteristics are proposed and the robustness against the disorder of the proposed schemes is discussed.
