We investigate the quantum size effect in the phase coherent mesoscopic ring. A quantum dot is embedded in one arm and it is connected to one lead via tunnel barrier. Both Aharonov–Casher and Aharonov–Bohm effects are studied. A spin-dependent conductance has been deduced and it depends on the intrinsic parameters. Our results show that the strength of spin-orbit coupling depends on the size of the present device. This investigation is valuable for fabricating such spintronics devices.

We investigate the transport properties of an interacting ring threaded by a magnetic flux and with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, based on a recently developed functional renormalized group technique. In the calculations of the electronic transport processes, the Coloumb On-site interactions are taken into account. For an interacting ring connected to two leads, we find that (i) for ΦAC = 0, the behavior of transmission zero at ΦAB = π is generic for the universal regime; (ii) for certain ΦAC and ΦAB, one can use the mesoscopic ring as spin filter even in the presence of the local interaction in the ring.

ABSTRACTThe size and chemical composition of optically active CdZnSe/ZnSe and CdZnSe/Zn0.97Be0.03Se quantum dots (QDs) are determined using photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation and polarized Raman scattering spectroscopies. We show that the addition of Be into the barrier enhances the Cd composition and the quantum size effect of optically active QDs. Additionally, surface phonons from QDs are observed in CdZnSe/ZnBeSe nanostructures.
