Abstract

The effect of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the shot noise, spin/valley polarization in 8-Pmmn borophene-based superlattice are studied theoretically, by applying the transfer-matrix approach. The spin-dependent transmission probability can be easily controlled by the number of superlattice barriers, the strength of the Rashba, and the incident electron angle. The Fano factor without spin rotation as well as with spin rotation shows an oscillatory pattern versus the strength of the Rashba, and the oscillatory behavior becomes more pronounced as the number of barriers increases. Also, the Fano factor shows a strong dependence on the superlattice direction and number of barriers. The spin and valley polarizations can be easily controlled by the number of barriers and the direction of superlattice. Our findings in this work could provide useful for valleytronics/spintronics systems based on the 8-Pmmn borophene.
