摘要: We discuss transport through an interferometer formed by the helical edge states of a quantum spin Hall insulator. Focusing on effects induced strong magnetic impurity placed in one arms interferometer, we consider experimentally relevant case relatively high temperature as compared to level spacing. obtain conductance and polarization closed form for arbitrary tunneling amplitude contacts strength impurity. demonstrate existence which do not show up previously studied cases weak disorder. find optimal conditions filtering that outgoing electrons can reach 100%.
