Resonant Spin Amplification in n-Type GaAs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extended electron spin precession in n-type GaAs bulk semiconductors is directly observed by femtosecond time-resolved Faraday rotation in the Voigt geometry. Synchronous optical pumping of the spin system amplifies and sustains spin motion, exposing a regime where spin lifetimes increase tenfold at low fields and exceed 100 ns at zero field. Precise studies in field and temperature provide clues to the relevant electron relaxation mechanisms, indicating a strong dependence on doping concentration. [S0031-9007(98)06021-9]

Reversal of spin polarization in Fe/GaAs (001) driven by resonant surface states: first-principles calculations.
A minority-spin resonant state at the Fe/GaAs(001) interface is predicted to reverse the spin polarization with the voltage bias of electrons transmitted across this interface. Using a Green's function approach within the local spin-density approximation, we calculate the spin-dependent current in a Fe/GaAs/Cu tunnel junction as a function of the applied bias voltage. We find a change in sign o...
متن کاملResonant intrinsic spin hall effect in p-type GaAs quantum well structure.
We study intrinsic spin Hall effect in p-type GaAs quantum well structure described by Luttinger Hamiltonian and a Rashba spin-orbit coupling arising from the structural inversion symmetry breaking. The Rashba term induces an energy level crossing in the lowest heavy hole subband, which gives rise to a resonant spin Hall conductance. The resonance may be used to identify the intrinsic spin Hall...
متن کاملResonant spin amplification of hole spin dynamics in twodimensional hole systems: experiment and simulation
Spins in semiconductor structures may allow for the realization of scalable quantum bit arrays, an essential component for quantum computation schemes. Specifically, hole spins may be more suited for this purpose than electron spins, due to their strongly reduced interaction with lattice nuclei, which limits spin coherence for electrons in quantum dots. Here, we present resonant spin amplificat...
متن کاملHole spin dynamics and valence-band spin excitations in two-dimensional hole systems
In recent years, the spin dynamics and spin–orbit interaction in GaAs-based two-dimensional hole systems (2DHS) have created a lot of attention. This is due to the complex structure of the valence band, with its p-like character, which leads to strong spin–orbit coupling. In this paper, we review our recent studies on hole spin dynamics and valence-band spin excitations in GaAs-based, p-modulat...
متن کاملSpin injection in n-type resonant tunneling diodes
We have studied the polarized resolved photoluminescence of n-type GaAs/AlAs/GaAlAs resonant tunneling diodes under magnetic field parallel to the tunnel current. Under resonant tunneling conditions, we have observed two emission lines attributed to neutral (X) and negatively charged excitons (X-). We have observed a voltage-controlled circular polarization degree from the quantum well emission...
