ZnO的电子自旋弛豫理论

Theory of Electron Spin Relaxation in ZnO

N. J. Harmon, W. O. Putikka, R. Joynt

摘要:

掺杂ZnO是一种很有前途的自旋电子学材料。对于这样的应用,重要的是要了解自旋动力学,特别是这种II-VI族半导体的自旋相干性。自旋寿命$τ_{s}$已被测量的光学取向实验,它显示了一个令人惊讶的非单调行为与温度。我们解释这种行为,通过调用本地化和扩展状态之间的自旋交换。有趣的是,尽管价带分裂相对较小,但自旋轨道耦合的影响绝不是可以忽略的。这是由于ZnO的纤锌矿晶体结构。详细的分析使我们能够表征杂质的结合能和密度,表明光学取向实验可以用作半导体样品的表征工具。

英文摘要:

Doped ZnO is a promising material for spintronics applications. For such applications, it is important to understand the spin dynamics and particularly the spin coherence of this II-VI semiconductor. The spin lifetime $τ_{s}$ has been measured by optical orientation experiments, and it shows a surprising non-monotonic behavior with temperature. We explain this behavior by invoking spin exchange between localized and extended states. Interestingly, the effects of spin-orbit coupling are by no means negligible, in spite of the relatively small valence band splitting. This is due to the wurtzite crystal structure of ZnO. Detailed analysis allows us to characterize the impurity binding energies and densities, showing that optical orientation experiments can be used as a characterization tool for semiconductor samples.
