24. In the 1D geometry, the dynamical generation of the “negative” polarization was also observed by Žutić, Fabian, and Das Sarma (Ref. 8).
25. The creation of majority downstream polarization obtained here in the 2D case can be considered a classical analog of the quantum ballistic spin filtering effect proposed by J C. Egues, Phys. Rev. Lett.80, 4578 (1998).
