Time-dependent tunneling of spin-polarized electrons in coupled quantum wells

We have solved the in-plane momentum-dependent effective-mass nonlinear Schroedinger equation for a spin-polarized electron wave packet in a InAs double quantum well system with an interlayer voltage. Considering a time-dependent Hartree potential, we have calculated the spin-polarized nonlinear electron dynamics between both quantum wells at different in-plane momentum values and applied bias. The spin-splitting caused by the Rashba effect is combined with the level matching between the spin dependent resonant tunneling levels making possible the observed local spin density oscillations which depend on the applied bias value. The filtering efficiency has been studied using time-dependent calculations
