SPIN RECTIFYING DEVICE, SPIN TRANSISTOR, AND SPIN RECTIFYING METHOD

摘要

A rectifying device includes: a one-dimensional channel (18) formed with a semiconductor, electrons traveling through the one-dimensional channel; an electrode (26) that applies an effective magnetic field generated from a spin orbit interaction to the electrons traveling through the one-dimensional channel by applying an electric field to the one-dimensional channel, the effective magnetic field being in a direction intersectional to the direction in which the electrons are traveling; and an external magnetic field generating unit (38) that generates an external magnetic field in the one-dimensional channel.
