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 informatio...
متن کاملQuantum Interference Control of Ballistic Magneto- resistance in a Magnetic Nanowire Containing Two Atomic- Size Domain Walls
The magnetoresistance of a one-dimensional electron gas in a metallic ferromagnetic nanowire containing two atomic-size domain walls has been investigated in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. The magnetoresistance is calculated in the ballistic regime, within the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. It has been demonstrated that the conductance of a magnetic nanowire with double domain walls...
متن کاملSymmetry and spin dephasing in (110)-grown quantum wells.
Symmetry and spin dephasing in (110)-grown GaAs quantum wells (QWs) are investigated applying magnetic field induced photogalvanic effect and time-resolved Kerr rotation. We show that magnetic field induced photogalvanic effect provides a tool to probe the symmetry of (110)-grown quantum wells. The photocurrent is only observed for asymmetric structures but vanishes for symmetric QWs. Applying ...
متن کاملOptical control of spins in semiconductors
Recent and ongoing optical experiments on mechanisms and methods for control and gating of spin relaxation in semiconductor quantum wells are reviewed. We discuss work on high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases in (001)-grown GaAs/AlGaAs wells which reveals two new aspects of D’yakonov, Perel’ and Kachorovskii (DPK) spin dynamics, namely oscillatory spin evolution in a quasi-collision-free...
