Electron-electron scattering effect on spin relaxation in multi- valley nanostructures
We develop a theory of effects of electron-electron collisions on the Dyakonov-Perel’ spin relaxation in multi-valley quantum wells. It is shown that the electron-electron scattering rate which governs the spin relaxation is different from that in a single-valley system. The theory is applied to Si/SiGe (001)-grown quantum wells where two valleys are simultaneously populated by free carriers. T...
متن کاملSpin relaxation in n-doped gallium arsenide due to impurity and electron-electron Elliot-Yafet scattering
We calculate the spin relaxation time of conduction electrons in n-doped bulk gallium arsenide. We consider the Elliot-Yafet spin-relaxation mechanism, driven by Coulombic-impurity and electron-electron scattering. We find that these two scattering mechanisms result in relaxation times of equal order of magnitude, but with disimilar dependences on doping density and temperature. Our theoretical...
متن کاملSpin Relaxation in GaAs: Importance of Electron-Electron Interactions
We study spin relaxation in n-type bulk GaAs, due to the Dyakonov-Perel mechanism, using ensemble Monte Carlo methods. Our results confirm that spin relaxation time increases with the electronic density in the regime of moderate electronic concentrations and high temperature. We show that the electron-electron scattering in the non-degenerate regime significantly slows down spin relaxation. Thi...
متن کاملElectron Spin-Phonon Relaxation in Quantum Dots
We calculate the spin relaxation rates in parabolic quantum dots due to the phonon modulation of the spin-orbit interaction in presence of an external magnetic field. Both, deformation potential (DP) and piezoelectric (PE) electron-phonon couplings are included in the Pavlov-Firsov spin-phonon Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the spin relaxation rates are particularly sensitive with the Landé g...
متن کاملElectron Spin Relaxation of (Diphenyl) in Dimethoxyethane *
The electron relaxation times Tt and T2 have been measured by ESR pulse techniques in solutions of normal and perdeuterated (diphenyl)" in dimethoxyethane at various radical concentrations and temperatures. The results are discussed in terms of different relaxation mechanisms. The most important contribution to spin-lattice relaxation at high concentration is dipolar interaction with other radi...
