Modeling for Semiconductor Spintronics

Abstract

We summarize semiclassical modeling methods, including drift-diffusion, kinetic transport equation and Monte Carlo simulation approaches, utilized in studies of spin dynamics and transport in semiconductor structures. As a review of the work by our group, several examples of applications of these modeling techniques are presented.
