Oblique Hanle measurements of InAs/GaAs quantum dot spin-light emitting diodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on studies of electrical spin injection from ferromagnetic Fe contacts into semiconductor light emitting diodes containing single layers of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots QDs . An oblique magnetic field is used to manipulate the spin of the injected electrons in the semiconductor. This approach allows us to measure the injected steady-state spin polarization in the QDs, Pspin as well as estimate the spin losses in the QD spin detector. After subtraction of magneto-optical effects not related to spin injection, we measured a Pspin of 7.5% at 15 K and estimated an injected spin polarization before QD recombination of around 20%. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.

متن کاملHanle effect in transport through quantum dots coupled to ferromagnetic leads
– We suggest a series of transport experiments on spin precession in quantum dots coupled to one or two ferromagnetic leads. Dot spin states are created by spin injection and analyzed via the linear conductance through the dot, while an applied magnetic field gives rise to the Hanle effect. Such a Hanle experiment can be used to determine the spin lifetime in the quantum dot, to measure the spi...
متن کاملAccuracy of circular polarization as a measure of spin polarization in quantum dot qubits.
A quantum dot spin light emitting diode provides a test of carrier spin injection into a qubit and a means for analyzing carrier spin injection and local spin polarization. Even with 100% spin-polarized carriers the emitted light may be only partially circularly polarized due to the geometry of the dot. We have calculated carrier polarization-dependent optical matrix elements for InAs/GaAs self...
متن کاملInSb quantum dots for the mid-infrared spectral range grown on GaAs substrates using metamorphic InAs buffer layers
Type II InSb/InAs quantum dots (QDs) were successfully grown on GaAs substrates using three different metamorphic buffer layer (MBL) designs. The structural properties of the resulting metamorphic InAs buffer layers were studied and compared using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction measurements. Photoluminescence (PL) originating from the InSb...
