摘要:

本文对具有自旋分裂能带结构的本征半导体中光激发电子-空穴液体中简并电子的D 'yakonov-Perel'自旋弛豫时间进行了解析研究。这些材料中电子的D 'yakonov-Perel'自旋弛豫受电子-空穴散射控制,电子-电子散射的修正很小,电子-杂质散射几乎没有修正。我们推导出简单的表达式(一维和二维积分分别)的有效电子-空穴和电子-电子散射率进入自旋弛豫时间计算。电子-空穴散射率被发现是可比的散射率从电子液体中的杂质-一个常见的模型为n型杂质半导体。由于电子-空穴对的密度降低(在简并区域内),预测由于电子-空穴液体中的交换和相关效应,散射速率的强烈增强和自旋弛豫的相应减慢。在相反的高密度极限下,原始的D 'yakonov-Perel'模型由于散射率的降低而失败,并最终被单个准粒子自旋的自由进动所取代。

英文摘要:

We present an analytical study of the D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation time for degenerate electrons in a photo-excited electron-hole liquid in intrinsic semiconductors exhibiting a spin-split band structure. The D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation of electrons in these materials is controlled by electron-hole scattering, with small corrections from electron-electron scattering and virtually none from electron-impurity scattering. We derive simple expressions (one-dimensional and two-dimensional integrals respectively) for the effective electron-hole and electron-electron scattering rates which enter the spin relaxation time calculation. The electron-hole scattering rate is found to be comparable to the scattering rates from impurities in the electron liquid - a common model for n-type doped semiconductors. As the density of electron-hole pairs decreases (within the degenerate regime), a strong enhancement of the scattering rates and a corresponding slowing down of spin relaxation is predicted due to exchange and correlation effects in the electron-hole liquid. In the opposite limit of high density, the original D'yakonov-Perel' model fails due to decreasing scattering rates and is eventually superseded by free precession of individual quasiparticle spins.
