Spin transistor action from Onsager reciprocity and SU(2) gauge theoryInanc Adagideli1, •Vitalij Lutsker2, Matthias Scheid2, Philippe Jacquod3, and Klaus Richter21Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University, Istanbul, Turkey — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg, Germany — 3Physics Department, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA

We construct a local gauge transformation to show how, in confined systems, a generic, weak non-homogeneous SU(2) spin-orbit Hamiltonian reduces to two U(1) Hamiltonians for spinless fermions at opposite magnetic fields, to leading order in the spin-orbit strength. Using an Onsager relation, we further show how the resulting spin conductance vanishes in a two-terminal setup, and how it is turned on by either weakly breaking time-reversal symmetry or opening additional transport terminals. We numerically check our theory for mesoscopic cavities as well as Aharonov-Bohm rings.
