Breakdown of the Korringa law of nuclear spin relaxation in metallic GaAs.

چکیده
We present nuclear spin relaxation measurements in GaAs epilayers using a new pump-probe technique in all-electrical, lateral spin-valve devices. The measured T(1) times agree very well with NMR data available for T>1 K. However, the nuclear spin relaxation rate clearly deviates from the well-established Korringa law expected in metallic samples and follows a sublinear temperature dependence T(1)(-1) is proportional to T(0.6) for 0.1 K≤T≤10 K. Further, we investigate nuclear spin inhomogeneities.

Antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in the metallic phase of quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductors
We give a quantitative analysis of the previously published nuclear magnetic resonance NMR experiments in the ET 2X family of organic charge-transfer salts. The temperature dependence of the nuclear-spin relaxation rate 1 /T1, the Knight shift Ks, and the Korringa ratio K is compared to the predictions of the phenomenological spin-fluctuation model of Moriya and Millis, Monien, and Pines M-MMP ...
متن کاملGate control of dynamic nuclear polarization in GaAs quantum wells.
Gate control of dynamic nuclear polarization under optical orientation is demonstrated in a Schottky-gated n-GaAs/AlGaAs (110) quantum well by time-resolved Kerr rotation measurements. Spin relaxation of electrons due to mechanisms other than the hyperfine interaction is effectively suppressed as the donor induced background electron density is reduced from metallic to insulating regimes. Subse...
متن کاملAn NMR study of the organic superconductor : (TMTSF)2ClO4
2014 We report 1H and 77Se-NMR data on oriented single crystals which establish the magnetic character of the semi-metallic ground state stabilized under high magnetic field in (TMTSF)2ClO4. A similar magnetic state can be stabilized at low temperature in the absence of magnetic field by non-magnetic molecular disorder. At low temperature the spin-lattice relaxation rate does not follow the Kor...

2014 We present 1H and 77Se NMR relaxation data on oriented (TMTSF)2ClO4 single crystals in the relaxed state. The data show the existence of three distinct regimes for the nuclear relaxation rate T-11. In the high temperature part (T > 25 K) the Korringa law seems to be well satisfied whereas in the lower temperature part we have strong deviations down to 8 K or so. At T ~ 6 K, a differen...
متن کاملNMR probe of metallic states in nanoscale topological insulators.
A 125Te NMR study of bismuth telluride nanoparticles as a function of particle size revealed that the spin-lattice relaxation is enhanced below 33 nm, accompanied by a transition of NMR spectra from the single to the bimodal regime. The satellite peak features a negative Knight shift and higher relaxivity, consistent with core polarization from p-band carriers. Whereas nanocrystals follow a Kor...
