摘要
We study the formation of local moments in quantum dots arising in quasi-one-dimensional electron wires due to localized spin-orbit (Rashba) interaction. Using an Anderson-type model to describe the occurrence of the magnetic moments in these Rashba dots, we calculate the local magnetization within the mean-field approximation. We find that the magnetization becomes a nontrivial function of the Rashba coupling strength. We discuss both the equilibrium and nonequilibrium cases. Interestingly, we obtain a magnetic phase which is stable at large bias due to the Rashba interaction.
