  11. Summary • We investigate the statistical properties of wave functions in two-dimensional • chaotic nanostructures with spin-orbit interactions and magnetic fields. • We present results for the evolution of the wave function statistics as a function • of the parameter regimes. • Weak spin-orbit coupling is expected to have consequences for spin-polarized • tunneling. • Numerical calculations for a chaotic stadium billiard are compared with • analytic results from random matrix theory. Thank you very much!
