Calculation method for the conductance of mesoscopic systems: assembly of Tight Binding Hamiltonians with spin effects-revisited.

We discretize the Schrödinger equation in the approximation of the effective mass for the two-dimensional electron gas of GaAs, without magnetic field and on the other hand, with magnetic field. This discretization leads naturally to Tight Binding (TB) Hamiltonians in the approximation of the effective mass. An analysis of this discretization allows us to gain insight into the role of site and hopping energies, which allows us to model the TB Hamiltonian assembly with spin: Zeeman and spin-orbit coupling effects, especially the case Rashba.
