Abstract
We discuss the transport properties of a quantum spin-Hall insulator with sizable Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a disk geometry. The presence of topologically protected helical edge states allows for the control and manipulation of spin polarized currents: When ferromagnetic leads are coupled to the quantum spin-Hall device, the ballistic conductance is modulated by the Rashba strength. Therefore, by tuning the Rashba interaction via an all-electric gating, it is possible to control the spin polarization of injected electrons.
