Abstracts

EN

In this paper we propose and simulate operation of a nanodevice, which enables the electron spin accumulation and very precise read-out of its final value. We exploit the dependence of the electron trajectory on its spin state due to the spin-orbit coupling in order to distinguish between different spin orientations.
