In a superconductor coupled with a ferromagnetic metal, spin and charge imbalances can be induced by injecting spin-polarized electron current from the ferromagnetic metal. We theoretically study a nonequilibrium distribution of…

We consider spin-lattice relaxation processes for electrons trapped in lateral Si quantum dots in a $[001]$ inversion layer. Such dots are characterized by strong confinement in the direction perpendicular to the surface and much weaker…

We consider relaxation of an electron spin in a nanotube quantum dot due to its coupling to flexural phonon modes, and identify a new spin-orbit mediated coupling between the nanotube deflection and the electron spin. This mechanism…

Effect of magnetic field on electron spin relaxation in quantum wells is studied theoretically. We have shown that Larmor effect and cyclotron motion of carriers can either jointly suppress D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation or compensate…

We describe a broadly-applicable theory of spin relaxation in materials with incoherent charge transport; examples include amorphous inorganic semiconductors, organic semiconductors, quantum dot arrays, and systems displaying…

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) offer a platform to explore the physics of quantum electronics including spins. Electron spins in QDs are considered good candidates for quantum bits in quantum information processing, and spin control and…

A theory of spin-polarized electron transport in ferromagnet-semiconductor heterostructures, based on a unified semiclassical description of ballistic and diffusive transport in semiconductors, is outlined. The aim is to provide a framework…

We have theoretically studied the temporal fluctuations and the resulting kinetic noise in the average spin polarization of an electron ensemble drifting in a quantum wire under a high electric field. Electrons are initially injected in the…

Prospect of building spintronic devices in which electron spins store and transport information has attracted strong attention in recent years. Here we present some of our representative theoretical results on three fundamental aspects of…

A quantum theory of the spin-dependent scattering of semiconductor electrons by a Schottky barrier at an interface with a ferromagnet is presented. The reflection of unpolarized non-equilibrium carriers produces spontaneous…

Spin relaxation of two-dimensional electrons in asymmetrical (001) AlGaAs quantum wells are measured by means of Hanle effect. Three different spin relaxation times for spins oriented along [110], [1-10] and [001] crystallographic…

Magnetic resonance is a prime method for the study of chemical and biological structures and their dynamical processes. The interpretation of these experiments relies on considering the spin of electrons as the sole relevant degree of…

We investigate spin transport in InSb/InAlSb heterostructure using the Monte Carlo approach, generalized by including density matrix description of spin for taking spin dynamics into account. In addition to the dominant Dyakonov-Perel (DP)…

Spin relaxation from a triplet excited state to a singlet ground state in a semiconductor quantum dot is studied by employing an electrical pump-and-probe method. Spin relaxation occurs via cotunneling when the tunneling rate is relatively…

Spin transport properties at finite electric and magnetic fields are studied by using the generalized semiclassical Boltzmann equation. It is found that the spin diffusion equation for non-equilibrium spin density and spin currents involves…

Due to spin-orbit coupling, the adiabatic perturbation of an electron's orbital motion induced by a revolving external electric field lead to the electron spin-precession. The obtained results describe both transverse and longitudinal…

Classical nonlinear theories are highly successful in describing far-from-equilibrium dynamics of magnets, encompassing phenomena such as parametric resonance, ultrafast switching, and even chaos. However, at ultrashort length and time…

The electron spin dynamics in multilayer GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells, containing high-mobility dense two-dimensional electron gases, have been studied using time-resolved Kerr rotation and resonant spin amplification techniques. The electron…

We have calculated spin relaxation rates in parabolic quantum dots due to the phonon modulation of the spin-orbit interaction in presence of an external magnetic field. Both, deformation potential and piezoelectric electron-phonon coupling…

We introduce a method for solving the problem of an externally controlled electron spin in a quantum dot interacting with host nuclei via the hyperfine interaction. Our method accounts for generalized (non-unitary) evolution effected by…
