非平衡声子对n型GaAs量子阱中热电子自旋弛豫的影响

Effect of nonequilibrium phonons on hot-electron spin relaxation in n-type GaAs quantum wells

P. Zhang, M. W. Wu

摘要:

研究了非平衡纵向光学声子对$n$型GaAs量子阱中热电子自旋弛豫的影响。在面内电场的作用下,由于有限的弛豫速率,纵向光学声子被电子驱动到非平衡态。非平衡声子通过改变电子的加热和漂移,进而影响电子的自旋弛豫性质。自旋弛豫时间延长,由于增强的电子加热,从而在非平衡声子的存在下的电子-声子散射。自旋进动的频率大致与电子漂移速度成比例,可以增加(在低电场和/或高晶格温度下)或降低(在高电场和/或低晶格温度下)。当电子密度高而杂质密度低时,非平衡声子效应更为显著。

英文摘要:

We have studied the effect of nonequilibrium longitudinal optical phonons on hot-electron spin relaxation in $n$-type GaAs quantum wells. The longitudinal optical phonons, due to the finite relaxation rate, are driven to nonequilibrium states by electrons under an in-plane electric field. The nonequilibrium phonons then in turn influence the electron spin relaxation properties via modifying the electron heating and drifting. The spin relaxation time is elongated due to the enhanced electron heating and thus the electron-phonon scattering in the presence of nonequilibrium phonons. The frequency of spin precession, which is roughly proportional to the electron drift velocity, can be either increased (at low electric field and/or high lattice temperature) or decreased (at high electric field and/or low lattice temperature). The nonequilibrium phonon effect is more pronounced when the electron density is high and the impurity density is low.
