Quantum antidot as a controllable spin injector and spin filter
  We propose a device based on an antidot embedded in a narrow quantum wire in the edge state regime, that can be used to inject and/or to control spin polarized current. The operational principle of the device is based on the effect of resonant backscattering from one edge state into another through a localized quasi-bound states, combined with the effect of Zeeman splitting of the quasibound states in sufficiently high magnetic field. We outline the device geometry, present detailed quantum-mechanical transport calculation and suggest a possible scheme to test the device performance and functionality.
