Spin relaxation and spin dynamics in semiconductors
J. Fabian, M. W. Wu
A chapter contribution to book: "Handbook of Spin Transport and Magnetism", ed. by Evegeny Y. Tsymbal and Igor Zutic (Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2011) http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn…
Hole spin relaxation in intrinsic and -type bulk GaAs
K. Shen, M. W. Wu
We investigate hole spin relaxation in intrinsic and -type bulk GaAs from a fully microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. In contrast to the previous study on hole spi…
Spin relaxation in -type (111) GaAs quantum wells
B. Y. Sun, P. Zhang, M. W. Wu
We investigate the spin relaxation limited by the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism in -type (111) GaAs quantum wells, by means of the kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. In (111) Ga…
Electron spin relaxation in graphene from a microscopic approach: Role of electron-electron interaction
Y. Zhou, M. W. Wu
Electron spin relaxation in graphene on a substrate is investigated from the fully microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. All the relevant scatterings, such as the elect…
Unique Electron Spin Relaxation Induced by Confined Phonons in Nanowire-Based Quantum Dots
Y. Yin, M. W. Wu
Electron spin relaxation in nanowire-based quantum dots induced by confined phonons is investigated theoretically. Due to the one-dimensional nature of the confined phonons, the va…
Singlet-triplet relaxation in multivalley silicon single quantum dots
L. Wang, K. Shen, B. Y. Sun +1
We investigate the singlet-triplet relaxation due to the spin-orbit coupling together with the electron-phonon scattering in two-electron multivalley silicon single quantum dots, u…
Effect of spin-conserving scattering on Gilbert damping in ferromagnetic semiconductors
K. Shen, G. Tatara, M. W. Wu
The Gilbert damping in ferromagnetic semiconductors is theoretically investigated based on the - model. In contrast to the situation in metals, all the spin-conserving scatte…
Effect of nonequilibrium phonons on hot-electron spin relaxation in n-type GaAs quantum wells
P. Zhang, M. W. Wu
We have studied the effect of nonequilibrium longitudinal optical phonons on hot-electron spin relaxation in -type GaAs quantum wells. The longitudinal optical phonons, due to t…
Spin dynamics in semiconductors
M. W. Wu, J. H. Jiang, M. Q. Weng
This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has achieved a lot of progress in the past years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor spi…
