A novel spin-spin coupling mechanism that occurs during the transport of spin-polarized minority electrons in semiconductors is described. Unlike the Coulomb spin drag, this coupling arises from the ambipolar electric field which is created…

The spin diffusion/transport in $n$-type (001) GaAs quantum well at high temperatures ($\ge120$ K) is studied by setting up and numerically solving the kinetic spin Bloch equations together with the Poisson equation self-consistently. All…

We perform a theoretical investigation on the time evolution of spin pulses in an $n$-type GaAs (001) quantum well with and without external electric field at high temperatures by constructing and numerically solving the kinetic spin Bloch…

We report theoretical and experimental studies of ambipolar spin diffusion in a semiconductor. A circularly polarized laser pulse is used to excite spin-polarized carriers in a GaAs multiple quantum well sample at 80 K. Diffusion of…

Since spin and charge are both carried by electrons (or holes) in a solid, it is natural to assume that charge and spin diffusion coefficients will be the same. Drift-diffusion models of spin transport typically assume so. Here, we show…

We show by spatially and time-resolved photoluminescence that the application of an electric field transverse to the plane of an intrinsic GaAs (111) quantum well (QW) allows the transport of photogenerated electron spins polarized along…

The quantum Hall effect, observed in a two-dimensional electron gas subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, imposes a 1D-like chiral, downstream, transport of charge carriers along the sample edges. Although this picture remains valid…

An electron propagating through a solid carries spin angular momentum in addition to its mass and charge. Of late there has been considerable interest in developing electronic devices based on the transport of spin, which offer potential…

We study the optically induced spin polarization, spin dephasing and diffusion in several high-mobility two-dimensional electron systems, which are embedded in GaAs quantum wells grown on (110)-oriented substrates. The experimental…

Based on a rigorous quantum-kinetic approach, spin-charge coupled drift-diffusion equations are derived for a strongly confined two-dimensional hole gas. An electric field leads to a coupling between the spin and charge degrees of freedom.…

The spin accumulation in an n-GaAs channel produced by spin extraction into a (Ga,Mn)As contact is measured by cross-sectional imaging of the spin polarization in GaAs. The spin polarization is observed in a 1 \mum thick n-GaAs channel with…

This study explores the relationship between spin diffusion, spin lifetime, electron density and lateral spatial confinement in two-dimensional electron gases hosted in GaAs quantum wells. Using time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect…

Experimental studies of spin transport in a two-dimensional electron gas hosted by a triple GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well are reported. Using time-resolved Kerr rotation, we observed the precession of the spin polarization about a…

We report measurements and calculations of the spin-subband depopulation, induced by a parallel magnetic field, of dilute GaAs two-dimensional (2D) hole systems. The results reveal that the shape of the confining potential dramatically…

We utilize the kinetic spin Bloch equation approach to investigate the steady-state spin diffusion in $n$-type (111) GaAs quantum wells, where the in-plane components of the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling term and the Rashba term can be…

Momentum transfer due to electron-electron interaction (Coulomb drag) between two quantum wells, separated by a distance $d$, in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field, is studied at low temperatures. We find besides the well known…

Electrically defined semiconductor quantum dots are attractive systems for spin manipulation and quantum information processing. Heavy-holes in both Si and GaAs are promising candidates for all-electrical spin manipulation, owing to the…

We have studied spin dephasing and spin diffusion in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system, embedded in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well grown in the [110] direction, by a two-beam Hanle experiment. For very low excitation density, we…

We provide a theoretical framework for the electric field control of the electron spin in systems with diffusive electron motion. The approach is valid in the experimentally important case where both intrinsic and extrinsic spin-orbit…

We report electrical transport measurements on GaAs/AlGaAs based electron-hole bilayers. These systems are expected to make a transition from a pair of weakly coupled two-dimensional systems to a strongly coupled exciton system as the…
