Nondiffusive spin dynamics in a two-dimensional electron gas.
We describe measurements of spin dynamics in the two-dimensional electron gas in GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wells. Optical techniques, including transient spin-grating spectroscopy, are used to probe the relaxation rates of spin polarization waves in the wave vector range from zero to 6x10(4) cm-1. We find that the spin polarization lifetime is maximal at a nonzero wave vector, in contrast with expect...
متن کاملCharge and spin dynamics in a two-dimensional electron gas.
A number of time-resolved optical experiments probing and controlling the spin and charge dynamics of the high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction are discussed. These include time-resolved reflectivity, luminescence, transient grating, magneto-optical Kerr effect, and electro-optical Kerr effect experiments. The optical experiments provide information on the c...
متن کاملSpin-Hall conductivity in a two-dimensional Rashba electron gas
Spin-Hall conductivity and Pauli susceptibility of 2D electron gas with Rashba spin-orbital interaction is studied theoretically in the semiclassical limit kFl 1. Static spin-Hall conductivity is shown to be zero for any nonvanishing disorder strength in the general case of the momentum-dependent Rashba velocity p and nonparabolic spectrum p . This result is derived both by an explicit diagramm...
متن کاملSpin-charge coupling effects in a two-dimensional electron gas
In these lecture notes we study the disordered two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling, by using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function technique. We describe the effects of the spin-orbit coupling in terms of a SU(2) gauge field and derive a generalized Boltzmann equation for the charge and spin distribution functions. We then apply the formalism to discus...
متن کاملBallistic spin transport in a two-dimensional electron gas
We explore electrically injected, spin-polarized transport in a ballistic two-dimensional electron gas. We augment the Büttiker-Landauer picture with a simple, but realistic model for spin-selective contacts to describe multimode reservoir-to-reservoir transport of ballistic spin-1/2 particles. Clear and unambiguous signatures of spin transport are established in this regime, for the simplest m...
