摘要:

n-GaAs中动态极化核的超精细场在空间上是非常不均匀的,因为在随机分布的施主附近,动态极化过程是最有效的。穿过体半导体的具有极化自旋的电子将经历这种不均匀的超精细场作为有效的波动自旋进动速率,因此电子系综的自旋极化将松弛。基于无规行走理论的自旋弛豫理论被应用于斜磁场中的旋进系综,并解析地导出了(不等的)纵向和横向自旋弛豫的精确形式。为了研究这种机制,电三端Hanle测量进行外延生长的Co $_2$ MnSi/ $n$ -GaAs异质结构制造成电自旋注入器件。建议的各向异性自旋弛豫机制需要令人满意地描述Hanle线型时,所施加的领域是在大的倾斜角取向。

英文摘要:

The hyperfine field from dynamically polarized nuclei in n-GaAs is very spatially inhomogeneous, as the nu- clear polarization process is most efficient near the randomly-distributed donors. Electrons with polarized spins traversing the bulk semiconductor will experience this inhomogeneous hyperfine field as an effective fluctuating spin precession rate, and thus the spin polarization of an electron ensemble will relax. A theory of spin relaxation based on the theory of random walks is applied to such an ensemble precessing in an oblique magnetic field, and the precise form of the (unequal) longitudinal and transverse spin relaxation analytically derived. To investigate this mechanism, electrical three-terminal Hanle measurements were performed on epitaxially grown Co$_2$MnSi/$n$-GaAs heterostructures fabricated into electrical spin injection devices. The proposed anisotropic spin relaxation mechanism is required to satisfactorily describe the Hanle lineshapes when the applied field is oriented at large oblique angles.
