The Elliott-Yafet theory of spin relaxation generalized for large spin-orbit coupling
We generalize the Elliott-Yafet (EY) theory of spin relaxation in metals with inversion symmetry for the case of large spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The EY theory treats the SOC to the lowest order but this approach breaks down for metals of heavy elements (such as e.g. caesium or gold), where the SOC energy is comparable to the relevant band-band separation energies. The generalized theory is pre...
متن کاملC60 Intercalated Graphite as Nanolubricants
We synthesized the novel nanocomposite consisting of alternately stacked single graphene sheets and a C60 monolayer by using the graphite intercalation technique in which alkylamine molecules help intercalate large C60 molecules into the graphite. It is found that the intercalated C60 molecules can rotate in between single graphene sheets by using 13C NMR measurements. The grease with the nanoc...
متن کاملGeneralized path integral method for Elliott-Yafet spin relaxations in quantum wells and narrow wires.
We generalized the semiclassical path integral method originally used in the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism to study the spin relaxation of the Elliott-Yafet mechanism in low-dimensional systems. In quantum wells, the spin properties calculated by this method confirmed the experimental results. In two-dimensional narrow wires, size and impurity effects on the Elliott-Yafet relaxation were predicted...
متن کاملSupermetallic conductivity in bromine-intercalated graphite
Exposure of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite to bromine vapor gives rise to in-plane charge conductivities which increase monotonically with intercalation time toward values for 6 at % Br that are significantly higher than Cu at temperatures down to 5 K. Magnetotransport, optical reflectivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm that the Br dopes the graphene sheets with holes whi...
متن کاملGeneralized Elliott-Yafet theory of electron spin relaxation in metals: origin of the anomalous electron spin lifetime in MgB2.
The temperature dependence of the electron-spin relaxation time in MgB2 is anomalous as it does not follow the resistivity above 150 K; it has a maximum around 400 K and decreases for higher temperatures. This violates the well established Elliot-Yafet theory of spin relaxation in metals. The anomaly occurs when the quasiparticle scattering rate (in energy units) is comparable to the energy dif...
