After the first unequivocal demonstration of spin transport in graphene [Tombros et al.,
Nature (London) 448, 571–574 (2007)], surprisingly at room temperature, it was quickly …

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 …

The mesoscopic spin system formed by the 10 4–10 6 nuclear spins in a semiconductor
quantum dot offers a unique setting for the study of many-body spin physics in the …

Optical spin-Hall effect (OSHE) is a spin-dependent transportation phenomenon of light as
an analogy to its counterpart in condensed matter physics. Although being predicted and …

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 …

In a semiconductor, absorption of circularly polarized light (optical pumping) leads to spin-
oriented photoelectrons. In this situation, the nuclei of the crystal are dynamically polarized …

Low-temperature electron-spin relaxation is studied by the optical orientation method in bulk
n-GaAs with donor concentrations from 10 14 cm− 3 to 5× 10 17 cm− 3. A peculiarity related …

Spin transistors are a new concept device that unites an ordinary transistor with the useful
functions of a spin (magnetoresistive) device. They are expected to be a building block for …

The hyperfine interaction of an electron with the nuclei is considered as the primary obstacle
to coherent control of the electron spin in semiconductor quantum dots. We show, however …

We study the intravalley spin-orbit-mediated spin relaxation in monolayers of MoS 2 within a
two bands effective Hamiltonian. The intrinsic spin splitting of the valence band as well as a …
