We investigate theoretically the spin current and spin current induced electric field in a weak Rashba spin-orbit coupling quantum wire (QW) using a definition for spin current by means of scattering matrix. It is found that there exists two non-zero linear spin current density elements which have oscillation peaks at the center of QW and their strengths can be changed by the number of propagation modes and Rashba constant, respectively. Moreover, the spin current induced electric field has also been calculated and its strength is measurable with present technology with which can be used to detect spin current.

The spin-orbit coupling systems with a zero magnetic field are studied under the equilibrium situation, i.e., without a voltage bias. A persistent spin current is predicted to exist under most circumstances, although the persistent charge current and the spin accumulation are identically zero. In particular, a two-dimensional quantum wire is investigated in detail. Surprisingly, a persistent spin current is found to flow along the confined direction, due to the spin precession accompanied by the particle motion. This provides an interesting example of constant spin flowing without inducing a spin accumulation, contrary to common intuition.
