Cooperative phenomenon in a rippled graphene: Chiral spinguide

We analyse spin scattering in ballistic transport of electrons through a ripple at a normal incidence of an electron flow. The model of a ripple consists of a curved graphene surface in a form of arc of a circle connected from the left-hand and the right-hand sides to two flat graphene sheets. At certain conditions the curvature induced spin-orbit coupling creates a transparent window for incoming electrons with one spin polarization simultaneously with a backscattering of those with an opposite polarization. This window is equally likely transparent for electrons with spin up and spin down that move in the opposite directions.
The spin filtering effect being small in one ripple becomes prominent with the increase of N-number of consequently connected ripples that create a graphene sheet of a sinusoidal type. We present the analytical expressions for spin up (down) transmission probabilities as a function of N connected ripples.
