Abstract

We theoretically investigate the electron transport in a periodic non-magnetic heterostructure with both Dresselhaus and Rashba spin–orbit effects. We show that the transport properties obviously depend on the number of periods and the large spin polarization can be achieved in such a structure. We also show that for m>1m>1, the resonance splitting occurs in the transmission curves of both spin-up and spin-down electrons when the transmission curves are plotted as a function of the electron energy or the well width.
