0 Spin relaxation in asymmetrical heterostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
Electron spin relaxation caused by the D’yakonov-Perel’ mechanism is investigated theoretically in asymmetrical A3B5 heterostructures. The total spin relaxation anisotropy is demonstrated for a wide range of structure parameters and temperatures. The spin relaxation rates dependences are derived for GaAs-based heterojunction and triangular quantum well. The calculations show a few orders of magnitude difference in spin relaxation times.

We report on the high mobility wide electron slabs with enhanced correlation effects by tailoring the polarization effects in a functionally graded ZnMgO/ZnO heterostructures.

متن کاملSpin injection and relaxation in ferromagnet-semiconductor heterostructures
We present a detailed description of spin injection and detection in Fe/AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs heterostructures for temperatures from 2 to 295 K. Measurements of the steady-state spin polarization in the semiconductor indicate three temperature regimes for spin transport and relaxation. At temperatures below 70 K, spinpolarized electrons injected into quantum well structures form excitons, and the spi...

We demonstrate that electron spin relaxation in GaAs in the proximity of a Fe/MgO layer is dominated by interaction with an exchange-driven hyperfine field at temperatures below 60 K. Temperature-dependent spin-resolved optical pump-probe spectroscopy reveals a strong correlation of the electron spin relaxation with carrier freeze-out, in quantitative agreement with a theoretical interpretation...

Electrical spin injection from Fe into AlxGa1-xAs quantum well heterostructures is demonstrated in small (<500 Oe) in-plane magnetic fields. The measurement is sensitive only to the component of the spin that precesses about the internal magnetic field in the semiconductor. This field is much larger than the applied field and depends strongly on the injection current density. Details of the obs...
متن کاملValley Splitting and Spin Lifetime Enhancement in Strained Silicon Heterostructures
Semiconductor spintronics is promising because it potentially allows creating data storages and processing elements that are smaller and consume less energy than present charge-based microelectronic devices. Silicon is an ideal material for spintronic applications due to the long spin lifetime in the bulk material. However, large spin relaxation was experimentally observed in gated silicon stru...
