Elliott-Yafet自旋弛豫机制的再研究

Reexamination of the Elliott-Yafet spin-relaxation mechanism

Alexander Baral, Svenja Vollmar, Steffen Kaltenborn, Hans Christian Schneider

摘要:

我们分析了由于非相干电子-声子散射引起的自旋相关载流子动力学,这通常被称为Elliott-Yafet(EY)自旋弛豫机制。对于这种机制,人们通常区分两种贡献:(1)静电相互作用和波函数中的自旋混合,通常称为埃利奥特贡献;(2)声子调制的自旋轨道相互作用,通常称为雅菲或奥弗豪泽贡献。通过计算约化电子密度矩阵,改进了Yafet的原计算,该计算将赝自旋极化等同于自旋极化,对明显的自旋混合无效.在我们的计算中,重要的新的数量是一个扭矩运营商,决定自旋动力学。对该转矩的贡献(1)恰好为零。从这个一般性的结果,我们推导出一个修改后的表达的Elliott-Yafet自旋弛豫时间。

英文摘要:

We analyze spin-dependent carrier dynamics due to incoherent electron-phonon scattering, which is commonly referred to as Elliott-Yafet (EY) spin-relaxation mechanism. For this mechanism one usually distinguishes two contributions: (1) from the electrostatic interaction together with spin-mixing in the wave functions, which is often called the Elliott contribution, and (2) the phonon-modulated spin-orbit interaction, which is often called the Yafet or Overhauser contribution. By computing the reduced electronic density matrix, we improve Yafet's original calculation, which is not valid for pronounced spin mixing as it equates the pseudo-spin polarization with the spin polarization. The important novel quantity in our calculation is a torque operator that determines the spin dynamics. The contribution (1) to this torque vanishes exactly. From this general result, we derive a modified expression for the Elliott-Yafet spin relaxation time.
