Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

We investigated electron spin relaxation time τ s in GaAs/AlGaAs (110) quantum wells
(QWs), in which a predominant spin scattering mechanism [D'yakonov-Perel'(DP) …

Prospect of building electronic devices in which electron spins store and transport
information has revived interest in the spin relaxation of conduction electrons. Since spin …

We present a detailed description of spin injection and detection in Fe∕ Al x Ga 1− x As∕
GaAs heterostructures for temperatures from 2 to 295 K. Measurements of the steady-state …

Time-resolved optical measurements in (110)-oriented GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells show a
tenfold increase of the spin-relaxation rate as a function of applied electric field from 20 to 80 …

Spin dynamics of photoexcited carriers in G a A s/A lx Ga 1− x As quantum wells have been
investigated in a wafer containing twelve different single quantum wells, allowing full …

It is shown that the D'yakonov-Perel'spin relaxation mechanism in a two-dimensional
electron gas is controlled not only by the electron-momentum relaxation that accounts for the …

We measured the Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction coefficient β 1 for (001)-grown GaAs/Al
0.3 Ga 0.7 As quantum wells for six different well widths w between 6 and 30 nm. The …

We consider the polarization dynamics of optically pumped vertical-cavity surface-emitting
lasers (VCSELs) with a pump light of arbitrary polarization ellipticity. We also consider the …
