We investigate the quantum adiabatic pumping effect in an interferometer attached to two one-dimensional leads. The interferometer is subjected to an Aharonov-Bohm flux and Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction. Using Brouwer’s formula and rigorous scattering eigenstates, we obtained the general closed formula for the pumping Berry curvatures depending on spin for general interferometers when the external control parameters only modulate the scattering eigenstates and corresponding eigenvalues. In this situation, pumping effect is absent in the combination of the control parameters of Aharonov-Bohm flux and spin-orbit interaction strength. We have shown that finite pumping is possible by modulating both Rashba and Dresselhaus interaction strengths and explicitly demonstrated the spin-pumping effect in a diamond-shaped interferometer made of four sites.

The combined effects of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) strength and the length of SOI excited region, which can be controlled by the external gate voltage deposited on the heterostructure, and on the electron spin precession in quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires are investigated by evaluating the relative conductance change, i.e. the ratio of difference of the conductances of the spin-up and spin-down polarized electrons to the total conductance. It is found that for proper wire width, electron spin precession can be smoothly achieved by co-adjusting the SOI strength and the length of SOI excited region. However, for wide quantum wire and strong SOI, the electron spin precession is significantly reduced due to the appearance of inter-subband mixing.
