GaAs针尖的飞秒Laser诱导自旋极化电子发射

Femtosecond-Laser-Induced Spin-Polarized Electron Emission from a GaAs Tip

Evan Brunkow, Eric R. Jones, Herman Batelaan, T. J. Gay

摘要:

结果表明,聚焦圆偏振800 nm的光脉冲的100 fs的持续时间上的尖端的p-GaAs晶体碎片没有负电子亲和势(NEA)激活的结果在电子发射,这是快速和自旋极化。发射过程的400 fs持续时间由泵浦/探测测量确定。我们研究的三个样品产生了13.1(9)%,13.3(7)%和10.4(2)%的电子极化。发射电流范围在50 pA和3 nA之间,样品偏压为-100 V,平均激光功率为100 mW。电子发射表现出线性二向色性,并在中等真空条件下获得,类似于金属尖。这种自旋极化电子脉冲源是“快”的,因为电子发射过程的持续时间与引发它的激光脉冲相当。

英文摘要:

It is shown that focusing circularly-polarized 800 nm light pulses of 100 fs duration on the tips of p-GaAs crystalline shards having no negative electron affinity (NEA) activation results in electron emission that is both fast and spin-polarized. The 400 fs duration of the emission process was determined by pump/probe measurements. The three samples we investigated produced electron polarizations of 13.1(9)%, 13.3(7)%, and 10.4(2)%. Emission currents ranged between 50 pA and 3 nA with a sample bias of -100V and average laser power of 100 mW. The electron emission exhibited linear dichroism and was obtained under moderate vacuum conditions, similar to that of metallic tips. This source of spin-polarized electron pulses is "fast" in the sense that the electron emission process is of comparable duration to the laser pulses that initiate it.
