Institut fu?r Theoretische Physik, Universita?t Hamburg, Jungiusstr 9, D-20355 Hamburg, Germany (Dated: February 2, 2008) We propose a semiconductor structure that can rotate the electron spin without using ferromag- netic contacts, tunneling barriers, external radiation etc. The structure consists of a strongly curved one-dimensional ballistic wire with intrinsic spin-orbit interactions of
