We show that non-adiabatic injection of 1D electrons at a conductance of e 2 h e2h results in a single first focusing peak, which transforms into two asymmetric sub-peaks with a gradual increase in the injector conductance up to 2e 2 h 2e2h , each sub-peak representing the population of spin-state arising from the spatially separated spins in the injector. Further increasing the conductance flips the spin-states in the 1D channel, thus reversing the asymmetry in the sub-peaks. On applying a source-drain bias, the spin-gap, so obtained, can be resolved, thus providing evidence of exchange interaction induced spin polarization in the 1D systems. date: 2017-07-24 date_type: published publisher: American Institute of Physics official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4989374 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1406990 doi: 10.1063/1.4989374 lyricists_name: Kumar, Sanjeev lyricists_name: Pepper, Michael lyricists_name: Yan, Chengyu lyricists_id: SKUMA71 lyricists_id: MPEPP38 lyricists_id: YANXX07 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted publication: Applied Physics Letters volume: 111 number: 4 article_number: 042107 issn: 0003-6951 citation: Yan, CY; Kumar, SK; Pepper, MP; Thomas, KT; See, PS; Farrer, IF; Ritchie, DR; ...
