Optical Orientation in Ferromagnet/Semiconductor Hybrids

Abstract

The physics of optical pumping of semiconductor electrons in the ferromagnet/semiconductor hybrids is discussed. Optically oriented semiconductor electrons detect the magnetic state of the ferromagnetic film. In turn, the ferromagnetism of the hybrid can be controlled optically with the help of the semiconductor. Spin-spin interactions near the interface ferromagnet/semiconductor play crucial role in the optical readout and the manipulation of ferromagnetism.

The review is written for a special issue "Spin Orientation" of Semiconductor Science and Technology journal dedicated to the memory of B.P. Zakharchenya
