Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation near metal-insulator transition and in hopping transport
arXiv:cond-mat/0602221 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.73.193201
Abstract
In a heavily doped semiconductor with weak spin-orbital interaction the Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation rate is known to be proportional to the Drude conductivity. We argue that in the case of weak spin-orbital interaction this proportionality goes beyond the Drude mechanism: it stays valid through the metal-insulator transition and in the range of the exponentially small hopping conductivity.
