纯自旋流中的相干自旋进动

Towards coherent spin precession in pure-spin current

Hiroshi Idzuchi, Yasuhiro Fukuma, YoshiChika Otani

摘要:

横向自旋阀中的非局域自旋注入产生纯自旋电流,其是没有净电荷流的自旋(即自旋角动量)的扩散流。扩散自旋在进动中失去相位相干性,同时经历频繁的碰撞,并且这些事件导致注入器和检测器之间的传输通道中的停留时间的宽分布。在这里,我们展示了具有双注入器的横向自旋阀,使我们能够从Hanle效应中检测到真正的面内进动信号,表明随着通道长度的增加,面内进动中的相位相干性得到改善。自旋旋进中的相干性示出了作为注入器和检测器之间的归一化间隔的函数的通用行为,其以与材料无关的方式用于金属和包括石墨烯的半导体。

英文摘要:

Non-local spin injection in lateral spin valves generates a pure spin current which is a diffusive flow of spins (i.e. spin angular momentums) with no net charge flow. The diffusive spins lose phase coherency in precession while undergoing frequent collisions and these events lead to a broad distribution of the dwell time in a transport channel between the injector and the detector. Here we show the lateral spin-valves with dual injectors enable us to detect a genuine in-plane precession signal from the Hanle effect, demonstrating the phase coherency in the in-plane precession is improved with an increase of the channel length. The coherency in the spin precession shows a universal behavior as a function of the normalized separation between the injector and the detector in material-independent fashion for metals and semiconductors including graphene.
