Theory of spin hall conductivity in n-doped GaAs.
We develop a theory of extrinsic spin currents in semiconductors, resulting from spin-orbit coupling at charged scatterers, which leads to skew-scattering and side-jump contributions to the spin-Hall conductivity. Applying the theory to bulk n-GaAs, without any free parameters, we find spin currents that are in reasonable agreement with experiments by Kato et al. [Science 306, 1910 (2004)].
متن کاملHopping conductivity in heavily doped n-type GaAs layers in the quantum Hall effect regime
We investigate the magnetoresistance of epitaxially grown, heavily doped ntype GaAs layers with thickness (40-50 nm) larger than the electronic mean free path (23 nm). The temperature dependence of the dissipative resistance Rxx in the quantum Hall effect regime can be well described by a hopping law (Rxx ∝ exp {−(T0/T ) }) with p ≈ 0.6. We discuss this result in terms of variable range hopping...
متن کاملSpin Hall effect in doped semiconductor structures.
In this Letter we present a microscopic theory of the extrinsic spin Hall effect based on the diagrammatic perturbation theory. Side-jump and skew-scattering contributions are explicitly taken into account to calculate the spin Hall conductivity, and we show that their effects scale as sigma(xy)SJ/sigma(xy)SS approximately (h/tau)/epsilonF, with tau being the transport relaxation time. Motivate...
متن کاملSpin-Hall effect and spin-Coulomb drag in doped semiconductors.
In this review, we describe in detail two important spin-transport phenomena: the extrinsic spin-Hall effect (coming from spin-orbit interactions between electrons and impurities) and the spin-Coulomb drag. The interplay of these two phenomena is analyzed. In particular, we discuss the influence of scattering between electrons with opposite spins on the spin current and the spin accumulation pr...
متن کاملSuppression of electron spin relaxation in Mn-doped GaAs.
We report a surprisingly long spin relaxation time of electrons in Mn-doped p-GaAs. The spin relaxation time scales with the optical pumping and increases from 12 ns in the dark to 160 ns upon saturation. This behavior is associated with the difference in spin relaxation rates of electrons precessing in the fluctuating fields of ionized or neutral Mn acceptors, respectively. For the latter, the...
