Fano resonance appears for conduction through an electron waveguide
containing donor impurities. In this work, we consider the thin-film conducting
chiral helimagnet (CCH) as the donor impurity in a one-dimensional waveguide
model. Due to the spin spiral coupling, interference between the direct and
intersubband transmission channels gives rise to spin-dependent Fano resonance
effect. The spin-dependent Fano resonance is sensitively dependent on the
helicity of the spiral. By tuning the CCH potential well depth and the incident
energy, this provides a potential way to detect the spin structure in the CCH.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
