The longitudinal spin relaxation time, T1, in a Si/SiGe quantum well is determined from the saturation of the ESR signal. We find values of a few microseconds. Investigations of T1 as a function of Fermi energy, concentration of scattering…
We study the spin-relaxation time in materials where a large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is present which breaks the spatial inversion symmetry. Such a spin-orbit coupling is realized in zincblende structures and heterostructures with a…
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…
We investigate theoretically the D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation time by solving the eight-band Kane model and Poisson equation self-consistently. Our results show distinct behavior with the single-band model due to the anomalous…
We present a detailed experimental and theoretical analysis of the spin dynamics of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in a series of n-doped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. Picosecond-resolution polarized pump-probe reflection techniques…
D'yakonov-Perel' (DP) mechanism describes the dynamics of non-equilibrium spin distribution in a two-dimensional (2D) system in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In this paper, we study the anisotropy of spin relaxation via the DP…
We simulate spin polarized transport of electrons along a silicon nanowire and along a silicon two dimensional channel. Spin density matrix calculations are used along with the semi-classical Monte Carlo approach to model spin evolution…

A fully microscopic theory of electron spin relaxation by the D'yakonov-Perel' type spin-orbit coupling is developed for a semiconductor quantum well with a magnetic field applied in the growth direction of the well. We derive the Bloch…
Using time-resolved Faraday rotation, the drift-induced spin-orbit Field of a two-dimensional electron gas in an InGaAs quantum well is measured. Including measurements of the electron mobility, the Dresselhaus and Rashba coefficients are…
Carrier density dependence of electron spin relaxation in an intrinsic GaAs quantum well is investigated at room temperature using time-resolved circularly polarized pump-probe spectroscopy. It is revealed that the spin relaxation time…
Temperature and carrier density dependent spin dynamics for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) with different structural symmetry has been studied by using time-resolved Kerr rotation technique. The spin relaxation time is measured to be much…
The D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation mechanism in n-doped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The temperature dependence of the spin relaxation time has been calculated for arbitrary…
We consider the problem of spin relaxation in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a perpendicular magnetic field. We assume that the spin relaxation is induced by the Rashba spin-orbit (SO) interaction, which appears due to the…
The manipulation of Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in molecular beam epitaxy-grown Al$_x$In$_{1-x}$Sb/InSb/CdTe quantum well heterostructures is reported. The effective band bending provides robust two-dimensional quantum…
The D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism of spin relaxation is connected with the spin splitting of the electron dispersion curve in crystals lacking a center of symmetry. In a two-dimensional noncentrosymmetric system, e.g. quantum well or…
In inversion asymmetric semiconductors, spin-orbit interactions give rise to very effective relaxation mechanisms of the electron spin. Recent work, based on the dimensionally constrained D'yakonov Perel' mechanism, describes increasing…
We investigate the spin relaxation due to the random Rashba spin-orbit coupling in symmetric GaAs (110) quantum wells from the fully microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. All relevant scatterings, such as the electron-impurity,…
We apply the D'yakonov-Perel' (DP) formalism to [111]-grown zincblende quantum wells (QWs) to compute the spin lifetimes of electrons in the two-dimensional electron gas. We account for both bulk and structural inversion asymmetry (Rashba)…
The heat capacity of conduction electrons obtained from the Sommerfeld expansion is shown to be tunable via the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling parameters. Using an AlInSb/InSb/AlInSb as a representative heterostructure with…
