摘要:

研究了光激发窄量子阱中的电子自旋动力学,其中电子自旋在依赖于k的磁场中进动,而电子在局域杂质处散射。对于由此产生的自旋衰变,通常称为D 'yakonov-Perel' mechanism,在强散射和弱散射极限下的解析表达式是可用的。它是由量子动力学方程的数值解发现在很宽的参数范围内,在通常相关的超快光学实验的情况下,总自旋极化的动态显着偏离相关的分析结果。这归因于光激发的自旋极化电子分布的宽光谱宽度,其由于不均匀加宽而引起自旋退相。此外,它被发现,自旋极化的衰减不一定是指数。自旋衰变时间的概念变得模糊,不同的自旋衰变时间定义可能导致不同的结果。自旋极化衰减的长期动力学甚至由代数衰减分量主导。这些发现突出了超短磁光实验中的光激发载流子的宽光谱分布的影响的重要性。

英文摘要:

The electron spin dynamics in an optically excited narrow quantum well is studied, where the electron spins precess in a k-dependent magnetic field while the electrons scatter at localized impurities. For the resulting spin decay, which is commonly known as the D'yakonov-Perel' mechansim, analytical expressions in the strong- and weak-scattering limits are available. It is found by the numerical solution of quantum kinetic equations in a broad range of parameters that, in situations that are typically relevant for ultrafast optical experiments, the dynamics of the total spin polarization significantly deviates from the pertinent analytical results. This is attributed to the broad spectral width of the optically excited spin-polarized electron distribution, which gives rise to a spin dephasing due to inhomogeneous broadening. Furthermore, it is found that the decay of the spin polarization need not be exponential. The notion of a spin decay time becomes ambiguous and different definitions of spin decay times can lead to different outcomes. The long-term dynamics of the decay of the spin polarization is even dominated by an algebraically decaying component. These findings highlight the importance of the effects of the broad spectral distribution of optically excited carriers in ultrashort magneto-optical experiments.
