We have analyzed how the symmetries and the anisotropies of energy dispersions and of the spinor states, within full spin–orbit interaction, form the two independent circular spin polarizations. We also compare how the effects produced by Rashba and Dresselhauss interaction terms act on the structure of the Hilbert space. These aspects are used to envisage a voltage controlled multichannel spin‐filtering regime in nonmagnetic diode structures. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
