Spin relaxation in quantum dots with random spin-orbit coupling
E. Ya. Sherman, D. J. Lockwood
We investigate the longitudinal spin relaxation arising due to spin-flip transitions accompanied by phonon emission in quantum dots where the strength of the Rashba spin-orbit coup…
Physical Limits of the ballistic and non-ballistic Spin-Field-Effect Transistor: Spin Dynamics in Remote Doped Structures
E. Ya. Sherman, Jairo Sinova
We investigate the spin dynamics and relaxation in remotely-doped two dimensional electron systems where the dopants lead to random fluctuations of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling.…
Non-exponential spin relaxation in magnetic field in quantum wells with random spin-orbit coupling
M. M. Glazov, E. Ya. Sherman
We investigate the spin dynamics of electrons in quantum wells where the Rashba type of spin-orbit coupling is present in the form of random nanosize domains. We study the effect o…
Spin current injection by intersubband transitions in quantum wells
E. Ya. Sherman, Ali Najmaie, J. E. Sipe
We show that a pure spin current can be injected in quantum wells by the absorption of linearly polarized infrared radiation, leading to transitions between subbands. The magnitude…
