Elliot-Yafet Mechanism in Graphene

Spin 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...

My research interests center in the design and analysis of algorithms, especially in large decentralized networks. My main focus has largely been on algorithmic game theory, and more specifically on networks involving strategic agents. In order to understand such networks, I also study diffusion processes in social networks, and more generally approximation algorithms. An increasing number of n...

1284 Elliot and Sheldon

Three studies demonstrated that avoidance personal goals are positively related to physical symptom reports. These results were obtained (a) using both longitudinal and retrospective methodologies and (b) controlling for neuroticism and other alternative predictor variables. In 2 of the studies, a process model was validated in which perceived competence and perceived controlledness were shown ...

Pseudospin-driven spin relaxation mechanism in graphene

The prospect of transporting spin information over long distances in graphene, possible because of its small intrinsic spin– orbit coupling (SOC) and vanishing hyperfine interaction, has stimulated intense research exploring spintronics applications. However, measured spin relaxation times are orders of magnitude smaller than initially predicted, while the main physical process for spin dephasi...
