Oblique Hanle Effect in Semiconductor Spin Transport Devices
arXiv:0801.3231 · doi:10.1063/1.2907497
Abstract
Spin precession and dephasing ("Hanle effect") provides an unambiguous means to establish the presence of spin transport in semiconductors. We compare theoretical modeling with experimental data from drift-dominated silicon spin-transport devices, illustrating the non-trivial consequences of employing oblique magnetic fields (due to misalignment or intentional, fixed in-plane field components) to measure the effects of spin precession. Model results are also calculated for Hanle measurements under conditions of diffusion-dominated transport, revealing an expected Hanle peak-widening effect induced by the presence of fixed in-plane magnetic bias fields.
