Abstract

The spin-dependent electron transport in two coupled quantum rings with Rashba spin-orbit interaction and magnetic flux was studied by using quantum waveguide theory. We show the dependence of spin-polarization on system parameters such as the Rashba coupling constant, the radius of the rings, the angles between the leads and the attachment point of the rings. The spin-polarization can be controlled and changed from -1 to +1 by using a magnetic flux. Also it was shown that this model is a limiting case of double Rashba quantum ring when the length of the middle lead between rings vanishes. The same study for spin-filtering properties in two coupled quantum rings with Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction was also obtained and the results were compared.
