Correlated electrons with spin-orbit coupling in quantum dots and quantum wires — •Jens Eiko Birkholz and Volker Meden — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Göttingen, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen

We use the functional renormalization group to investigate correlated electrons with spin-orbit coupling, represented by Rashba and Dresselhaus terms, in quantum dots and quantum wires. The interacting system is connected to semi-infinite leads which are considered to be interaction-free. Such setups are of interest as spin-filters in spintronics applications. As a measure for the electron transport through the dot and wire, we focus on the spin-dependent linear-response conductance. The interplay of electronic correlations and spin-orbit coupling leads to interesting physics.
