3 Motivation for studying spin propagation Correlated electrons separation of spin and charge Spintronics information carried by spin rather than charge One of the keys for spintronics is to achieve control over spin via E-fields; logic based on switching via B is not feasible. Spin-orbit coupling provides the potential mechanism, as exemplified in the Datta-Das transistor concept
4 but S-O coupling is a double-edged sword. Control over spin state via E fields: good Non-conservation of spin angular momentum: bad
5 This talk Spin-orbit as both advantage and obstacle. Schliemann, Egues, Loss proposal The significance of Rashba=Dresselhaus Spin propagation in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. Theory and experiment The quest for the Persistent Spin Helix. Measurement and control over Rashba, Dresselhaus coupling. Spin diffusion coefficient, violation of Einstein relation, and spin Coulomb drag. The future
6 Model 2D system: GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells 2D electron gas parameters Free-electron-like Fermi surface n ~ cm -2 mean-free-time ~ 10 ps mean-free-path ~ 3 microns Trivial system except for the spin-orbit coupling
7 Spin-orbit Hamiltonian: Dresselhaus term (intrinsic) Rashba term ( asymmetry of well) k y k y ( M, N) k x ( M, N) k x
8 Length and frequency scale associated with spin-orbit coupling Spin precesses in Rashba field With frequency Ω = αk F Spin of ballistic electron
9 Datta-Das: spin transistor based on control of Rashba spin precession. =0 OFF ON
10 Datta-Das not robust with respect to disorder, which leads to Dyakanov-Perel spin relaxation. Interrupted spin precession
11 Spin diffusion length < spin precession length So this would seem to be the end of the road. However, Schliemann, Egues, and Loss proposed a way out
12 Rashba=Dresselhaus Rashba spin-orbit coupling Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling + =
13 Special properties of Rashba equals Dresselhaus spin dynamics Spin rotation depends on displacement, independent of path y x All of these paths experience exactly the same net rotation!
14 Schliemann, Egues, Loss device x
15 Spin/displacement correlation via spin-orbit coupling leads to anomalous diffusion. Measuring spin diffusion can lead us to α=β
16 Models of spin propagation typically assume dynamics obey simple diffusion equation, with loss term to describe spin relaxation. which has solutions of the form: where,
17 Graph of spin polarization lifetime vs. q is simple Lorentzian 1/Γ q τ s 1/L s q
18 Perfect spin/displacement correlation at α=β leads to anomalous spin diffusion. Spin precesses in x -z plane like an arrow on a disk that rolls w/o slipping z x
19
20 A helical polarization with the magic wavevector q=1/l s will never decay, even though the spin of each individual electron is rapidly randomized. Many electron system prepared with initial helical polarization
21 When α=β spin helix has infinite lifetime! τ q S z + is x πl s At the resonant q, spin precesses by 2π as it propagates one period of the helix 1/L s q
22 What about α β? Spin propagation Rashba only Burkov, Nunez, MacDonald, Phys. Rev. B 70 (2004) Precession angle is path dependent leading to weaker, but nonzero, spin/space correlations.
23 Summarizing predictions for spin helix lifetime τ q α=β α or β=0 No spin-orbit Prediction for 2D (Rashba only) Burkov, Nunez, MacDonald Phys. Rev. B 70 (2004) 1/L s q
24 Surprisingly, there are few direct measurements of spin diffusion in the presence of spin-orbit coupling D s =4 cm 2 /s at 1.6 K n ~ cm -3 in bulk GaAs

60 Future Continue the quest to infinity and beyond. Use the spin grating to study exotic effects such as spin Hall effect. Can we change spin polarization lifetime by orders of magnitude through a gate applied electric field? Is the Datta-Das device feasible under these conditions?
