摘要:

我们开发了一种简单的方法来测量半导体中的电子自旋弛豫时间$T_1$,$T_2$和$T_2^*$,并展示了其示范性应用于$n$型GaAs。利用作用在电子自旋上的磁场的突变,我们通过测量短脉冲激光的法拉第旋转来探测自旋演化。根据磁场方向,这使我们能够测量纵向自旋弛豫时间$T_1$或非均匀横向自旋退相时间$T_2^*$。为了确定均匀的自旋相干时间$T_2$,我们施加一个脉冲的振荡射频(rf)场共振的拉莫尔频率和检测随后的自旋进动衰减。射频驱动的自旋进动的幅度显着增强后,沿磁场的额外的光泵浦。

英文摘要:

We develop a simple method for measuring the electron spin relaxation times $T_1$, $T_2$ and $T_2^*$ in semiconductors and demonstrate its exemplary application to $n$-type GaAs. Using an abrupt variation of the magnetic field acting on electron spins, we detect the spin evolution by measuring the Faraday rotation of a short laser pulse. Depending on the magnetic field orientation, this allows us to measure either the longitudinal spin relaxation time $T_1$ or the inhomogeneous transverse spin dephasing time $T_2^*$. In order to determine the homogeneous spin coherence time $T_2$, we apply a pulse of an oscillating radiofrequency (rf) field resonant with the Larmor frequency and detect the subsequent decay of the spin precession. The amplitude of the rf-driven spin precession is significantly enhanced upon additional optical pumping along the magnetic field.
