自旋极化GaAs的准平衡光学非线性

Quasi-equilibrium optical nonlinearities in spin-polarized GaAs

Arjun Joshua, V. Venkataraman

摘要:

半导体布洛赫方程微观描述了库仑相互作用、自旋非极化电子-空穴等离子体的动力学,可以在两种极限下求解:相干态和准平衡态。这些方程最近已扩展到包括自旋自由度,并用于解释自旋动力学的相干制度。在准平衡极限下,人们在两带模型中求解Bethe-Salpeter方程,以描述任意密度的自旋非极化等离子体内的库仑相互作用如何影响光吸收。在这项工作中,我们修改了Bethe-Salpeter方程的解,以在三带模型中包括自旋极化和光洞,这使我们能够解释吸收中多体效应的自旋极化版本。计算的吸收再现自旋依赖,密度依赖和光谱的趋势,在室温下观察到在体砷化镓,在最近的泵浦-探测实验与圆偏振光。因此,我们的结果可能是有用的密度依赖的自旋极化半导体的光学非线性的微观模型。

英文摘要:

Semiconductor Bloch equations, which microscopically describe the dynamics of a Coulomb interacting, spin-unpolarized electron-hole plasma, can be solved in two limits: the coherent and the quasi-equilibrium regime. These equations have been recently extended to include the spin degree of freedom, and used to explain spin dynamics in the coherent regime. In the quasi-equilibrium limit, one solves the Bethe-Salpeter equation in a two-band model to describe how optical absorption is affected by Coulomb interactions within a spin-unpolarized plasma of arbitrary density. In this work, we modified the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation to include spin-polarization and light holes in a three-band model, which allowed us to account for spin-polarized versions of many-body effects in absorption. The calculated absorption reproduced the spin-dependent, density-dependent and spectral trends observed in bulk GaAs at room temperature, in a recent pump-probe experiment with circularly polarized light. Hence our results may be useful in the microscopic modelling of density-dependent optical nonlinearities in spin-polarized semiconductors.
