Adiabaticity mediated mesoscopic spin transport — •Tobias Dollinger, Henri Saarikoski, and Klaus Richter — Universität Regensburg, Germany

We examine mesoscopic transport in ballistic and diffusive waveguide geometries with Zeeman coupling by means of a numerical recursive Green's function algorithm and interprete the results using a semiclassical transport formalism. Our discussion is focused on analyzing magnetoconductance traces of two-dimensional systems with spatially nonuniform magnetic moment. We illustrate how controlling magnetic field textures within a sample allows for an efficient manipulation of spin transmission properties, which are determined by nonadiabatic transition probabilities.
