چکیده
Abstract. 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 carrier lifetimes and spin dephasing times, as well as on the carrier diffusion coefficient which directly gives the charge mobility. A combination of the two types of Kerr experiments, shows to be useful in extracting both the carrier lifetimes and spin dephasing times in a single experiment.

3 J un 2 00 7 The Luttinger liquid kink
Spin-charge separation in the one dimensional electron gas should give rise to two peaks in the single hole spectral function. However, unambiguous detection of these two peaks has proven difficult, since the combined effects of interactions, thermal broadening, and finite experimental resolution can suppress the spin peak. Nevertheless, a telltale kink in the dispersion remains, and the system...
متن کاملM ay 2 00 0 Spin and Charge Luttinger - Liquid Parameters of the One - Dimensional Electron Gas
Low-energy properties of the homogeneous electron gas in one dimension are completely described by the group velocities of its charge (plasmon) and spin collective excitations. Because of the long range of the electron-electron interaction, the plasmon velocity is dominated by an electrostatic contribution and can be estimated accurately. In this Letter we report on Quantum Monte Carlo simulati...

We describe spin correlations in the vicinity of a generalized impurity in a wide class of fractionalized spin liquid states. We argue that the primary characterization of the impurity is its electric charge under the gauge field describing singlet excitations in the spin liquid. We focus on two gapless U(1) spin liquids described by 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories (CFT): the staggered...

The dynamics of totally symmetric free massless higher spin fields in AdS d is reformulated in terms of the compensator formalism for AdS gravity. The AdS 5 higher spin algebra is identified with the star product algebra with the su(2, 2) vector (i.e., o(4, 2) spinor) generating elements. Cubic interactions of the totally symmetric bosonic higher spin gauge fields in AdS 5 , including the inter...
متن کاملInverse spin Hall effect and anomalous Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas
We study the coupled dynamics of spin and charge currents in a two-dimensional electron gas in the transport diffusive regime. For systems with inversion symmetry there are established relations between the spin Hall effect, the anomalous Hall effect and the inverse spin Hall effect. However, in two-dimensional electron gases of semiconductors like GaAs, inversion symmetry is broken so that the...
