Spin currents in channels of a high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas are generated and detected using spin-polarized quantum point contacts. We have recently shown that the relaxation length of spin currents is resonantly suppressed when the frequency at which electrons bounce between channel walls matches the Larmor frequency. Here we demonstrate that a gate on top of the channel tunes such ballistic spin resonance by tuning the velocity of electrons and hence the bouncing frequency. These findings demonstrate a new mechanism for electrical control of spin logic circuits.
