A unique spin depolarization mechanism, induced by the presence of g-factor anisotropy and intervalley scattering, is revealed by spin transport measurements on long-distance germanium devices in a longitudinal magnetic field. The…

Compared with direct-gap semiconductors, the valley degeneracy of silicon and germanium opens up new channels for spin relaxation that counteract the spin degeneracy of the inversion-symmetric system. Here the symmetries of the…

We investigate the spin-dependent electron-phonon scatterings of the $L$ and $\Gamma$ valleys and the band structure near the conduction band minima in germanium. We first construct a $16\times16$ ${\bm k}\cdot{\bm p}$ Hamiltonian in the…

Through First-Principles real-time Density-Matrix (FPDM) dynamics simulations, we investigate spin relaxation due to electron-phonon and electron-impurity scatterings with spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional Dirac materials - silicene…

We propose an intrinsic spin scattering mechanism in graphene originated by the interplay of atomic spin-orbit interaction and the local curvature induced by flexural distortions of the atomic lattice. Starting from a multiorbital…

The hot-electron effect in the spin relaxation of electrically injected electrons in intrinsic Germanium is investigated by the kinetic spin Bloch equations both analytically and numerically. It is shown that in the weak-electric-field…

A long spin-lifetime of electrons is the holy grail of spintronics, a field exploiting the electron angular momentum as information carrier and storage unit. Previous reports indicated a spin lifetime, $\tau_{\text{s}}$ near $10$ ns at best…

The spin relaxation time of electrons in GaAs and GaN are determined with a model that includes momentum scattering by phonons and ionized impurities, and spin scattering by the Elliot-Yafet, D'yakonov-Perel, and Bir-Aronov-Pikus…

We show that the electric field-induced thermal asymmetry between the electron and lattice systems in pure silicon substantially impacts the identity of the dominant spin relaxation mechanism. Comparison of empirical results from…

Spin relaxation, dephasing and diffusion are at the heart of spin-based information technology. Accurate theoretical approaches to simulate spin lifetimes ($\tau_s$), determining how fast the spin polarization and phase information will be…

We report the first experimental demonstration of electrical spin injection, transport and detection in bulk germanium (Ge). The non-local magnetoresistance in n-type Ge is observable up to 225K. Our results indicate that the spin…

We study the transport of spin polarized electrons in n-GaAs using spatially resolved continuous wave Faraday rotation. From the measured steady state distribution, we determine spin relaxation times under drift conditions and, in the…

The electron spin decay lifetime in materials can be characterized by relaxation (T1) and irreversible (T2) and reversible (T2*) decoherence processes. Their interplay leads to a complex dependence of spin relaxation times on the direction…

Designing new quantum materials with long-lived electron spin states urgently requires a general theoretical formalism and computational technique to reliably predict intrinsic spin relaxation times. We present a new, accurate and universal…

Spin-flip Eliashberg function $\alpha_S^2F$ and temperature-dependent spin relaxation time $T_1(T)$ are calculated for aluminum using realistic pseudopotentials. The spin-flip electron-phonon coupling constant $\lambda_S$ is found to be…

We combine extensive precision measurements of the optically detected spin dynamics and magneto-transport measurements in a contiguous set of n-doped bulk GaAs structures in order to unambiguously unravel the intriguing but complex…
