Abstract

We propose a simple scheme for the spin filter by studying the coherent transport of electrons through a double-bend structure in a quantum wire with a weak lateral magnetic potential which is much weaker than the Fermi energy of the leads. Extremely large spin polarized current in the order of micro-Ampere can be obtained because of the strong resonant behavior from the double bends. Further study suggests the roubustness of this spin filter.
