In a semiconductor, collective excitations of spin textures usually decay rather fast due to D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation. The latter arises from spin-orbit coupling, which induces wave-vector-dependent spin rotations that, in…

To establish a correlation between the spin diffusion, the spin lifetime, and the electron density, we study, employing time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy, the spin polarization evolution in low-dimensional GaAs…

We derive a spin diffusion equation for a spin-orbit coupled two-dimensional electron gas including the Hartree-Fock field resulting from 1st order electron-electron interactions. We find that the lifetime of the persistent spin helix,…

A persistent spin helix (PSH) in spin-orbit-coupled two-dimensional electron systems was recently predicted to exist in two cases: [001] quantum wells (QWs) with equal coupling strengths of the Rashba and the Dresselhaus interactions (RD),…

Time-resolved Kerr-rotation microscopy explores the influence of optical doping on the persistent spin helix in a [001]-grown CdTe quantum well at cryogenic temperatures. Electron spin diffusion dynamics reveal a momentum-dependent…

We investigate the possibility of spin-preserving symmetries due to the interplay of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling in n-doped zinc-blende semiconductor quantum wells of general crystal orientation. It is shown that a conserved…

We experimentally investigate the dynamics of a persistent spin helix in etched GaAs wire structures of 2 to 80 um width. Using magneto-optical Kerr rotation with high spatial resolution, we determine the lifetime of the spin helix. A few…

We present a detailed theoretical investigation of persistent spin helices in two-dimensional electron systems with spin-orbit coupling. For this purpose we consider a single-particle effective mass Hamiltonian with generalized linear-in-k…

We develop the microscopic theory of electron spin dephasing in (110)-grown quantum wells where the electron scattering time is comparable to or exceeds the period of spin precession in the effective magnetic field caused by spin-orbit…

We suggest a long-lived spin polarization structure, a radial spin helix, and study its relaxation dynamics. For this purpose, starting with a simple and physically clear consideration of spin transport, we derive a system of equations for…

Controlling the spin dynamics and spin lifetimes is one of the main challenges in spintronics. To this end, the study of the spin diffusion in two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) shows that when the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit…

The Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit (SO) interactions in 2D electron gases act as effective magnetic fields with momentum-dependent directions, which cause spin decay as the spins undergo arbitrary precessions about these…

We re-express the Rashba and Dresselhaus interactions as non-Abelian spin-orbit gauges and provide a new perspective in understanding the persistent spin helix [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 236601 (2006)]. A spin-orbit interacting system can be…

Spin relaxation under identical Dresselhaus and Rashba coupling strengths in GaAs quantum wells is studied in both the traditional collinear statistics, where the energy spectra do not contain the spin-orbit coupling terms, and the helix…

Spintronics in halide perovskites has drawn significant attention in recent years, due to highly tunable spin-orbit fields and intriguing interplay with lattice symmetry. Spin lifetime -- a key parameter that determines the applicability of…

The spin orbit interaction plays a crucial role in diverse fields of condensed matter, including the investigation of Majorana fermions, topological insulators, quantum information and spintronics. In III V zinc blende semiconductor…

Long coherence lifetimes of electron spins transported using moving potential dots are shown to result from the mesoscopic confinement of the spin vector. The confinement dimensions required for spin control are governed by the…

The time evolution of a local spin excitation in a (001)-confined two-dimensional electron gas subjected to Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions of similar strength is investigated theoretically and compared with experimental…

We report on a theoretical study of spin dynamics of an ensemble of spin-polarized electrons injected in a diffusive microchannel with linear Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. We explore the dependence of the spin-precession and…

We study evolution of electron spin coherence having non-homogeneous direction of spin polarization vector in semiconductor heterostructures. It is found that the electron spin relaxation time due to the D'yakonov-Perel' relaxation…
