Spin-resolved polarized transport through a quasi one-dimensional mesoscopic quantum ring-shaped conductor with local Rashba spin–orbit interaction

We propose a quasi one-dimensional quantum ring-shaped model associated with Rashba spin–orbit (SO) interaction and Aharomov–Bohm flux to study a spin-dependent quantum transport. It is a possible candidate for spintronic current modulators. By tuning SO coupling strength and Fermi energy, we find there is a broad energy range of small vanishing spin transmission in the resonance and antiresonance interferences. More interestingly, the large on/off spin-resolved polarized conductance ratios are robust even in the presence of strong random on-site Anderson-type disorder in devices, which suggests a potential application in the real system.
