33. The spin accumulation is also strongly influenced by boundary conditions for both extrinsic and intrinic SHE, which has been reporter in two recent works: W.-K. Tse, J. Fabian, I. Zutic, and S. Das Sarma, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.72.241303 72, 241303 (R) (2005);

37. In fact, the system of the quasi-1D quantum wire having Rashba SO interaction can exactly be solved, and its eigenstates indeed are extended in the transverse direction, e.g., see Q.-f. Sun and X. C. Xie, cond-mat/0505517 (unpublished).
