本征和$p$型体材料GaAs中的空穴自旋弛豫

Hole spin relaxation in intrinsic and $p$-type bulk GaAs

K. Shen, M. W. Wu

摘要:

我们从全微观动力学自旋Bloch方程方法研究了本征和$p$型体GaAs中的空穴自旋弛豫。与以往对空穴自旋动力学的研究不同,我们明确地考虑了带内相干性和非极性的空穴-光学-声子相互作用,这两个因素对空穴自旋弛豫都有重要的影响.分析了D 'yakonov-Perel'和Elliott-Yafet机制对空穴自旋弛豫的相对贡献。在计算中,对空穴自旋弛豫起重要作用的屏蔽常数采用无规相位近似处理。在本征GaAs中,我们的结果与室温下的实验数据吻合得很好,其中空穴自旋弛豫被证明是由Elliott-Yafet机制主导的。我们还发现,空穴自旋弛豫强烈依赖于温度和预测的谷的密度依赖性的空穴自旋弛豫时间在低温下由于空穴-电子散射。在$p$型GaAs中,我们预测了自旋弛豫时间与空穴密度的关系在低温下会出现一个峰值,这是由于在简并和非简并区域中屏蔽的不同行为造成的。在散射事件期间屏蔽和动量交换之间的竞争也可以导致在低密度区域中空穴自旋弛豫时间的密度依赖性中的谷。在高温下,由于小的屏蔽常数,屏蔽效应被抑制。此外,我们预测的非单调依赖性的空穴自旋弛豫时间与温度相关的屏蔽连同空穴-声子散射。最后,我们发现,D 'yakonov-Perel'机制可以显着贡献的…(因篇幅限制省略)

英文摘要:

We investigate hole spin relaxation in intrinsic and $p$-type bulk GaAs from a fully microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. In contrast to the previous study on hole spin dynamics, we explicitly include the intraband coherence and the nonpolar hole-optical-phonon interaction, both of which are demonstrated to be of great importance to the hole spin relaxation. The relative contributions of the D'yakonov-Perel' and Elliott-Yafet mechanisms on hole spin relaxation are also analyzed. In our calculation, the screening constant, playing an important role in the hole spin relaxation, is treated with the random phase approximation. In intrinsic GaAs, our result shows good agreement with the experiment data at room temperature, where the hole spin relaxation is demonstrated to be dominated by the Elliott-Yafet mechanism. We also find that the hole spin relaxation strongly depends on the temperature and predict a valley in the density dependence of the hole spin relaxation time at low temperature due to the hole-electron scattering. In $p$-type GaAs, we predict a peak in the spin relaxation time against the hole density at low temperature, which originates from the distinct behaviors of the screening in the degenerate and nondegenerate regimes. The competition between the screening and the momentum exchange during scattering events can also lead to a valley in the density dependence of the hole spin relaxation time in the low density regime. At high temperature, the effect of the screening is suppressed due to the small screening constant. Moreover, we predict a nonmonotonic dependence of the hole spin relaxation time on temperature associated with the screening together with the hole-phonon scattering. Finally, we find that the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism can markedly contribute to the .... (omitted due to the limit of space)
