The combined effects of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) strength and the length of SOI excited region, which can be controlled by the external gate voltage deposited on the heterostructure, and on the electron spin precession in quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires are investigated by evaluating the relative conductance change, i.e. the ratio of difference of the conductances of the spin-up and spin-down polarized electrons to the total conductance. It is found that for proper wire width, electron spin precession can be smoothly achieved by co-adjusting the SOI strength and the length of SOI excited region. However, for wide quantum wire and strong SOI, the electron spin precession is significantly reduced due to the appearance of inter-subband mixing.

This chapter focuses on the electron spin degree of freedom in semiconductor spintronics. In particular, the electrostatic control of the spin degree of freedom is an advantageous technology over metal-based spintronics. Spin–orbit interaction (SOI), which gives rise to an effective magnetic field. The essence of SOI is that the moving electrons in an electric field feel an effective magnetic field even without any external magnetic field. Rashba spin–orbit interaction is important since the strength is controlled by the gate voltage on top of the semiconductor’s two-dimensional electron gas. By utilizing the effective magnetic field induced by the SOI, spin generation and manipulation are possible by electrostatic ways. The origin of spin-orbit interactions in semiconductors and the electrical generation and manipulation of spins by electrical means are discussed. Long spin coherence is achieved by special spin helix state where both strengths of Rashba and Dresselhaus SOI are equal.
