6 Virtually no measurements of spin diffusion coefficients in doped semiconductors
7 Spin vs. charge currents Charge Spin j c = qv v j s = σ v z j s = σ v v z v
8 Spin diffusion and relaxation Spin diffusion can be defined when: τ s τ coll Usually modeled by diffusion eq. with loss term: 2 sz sz Ds sz + = t τ Decay rate of a fluctuation with wavevector q: s γ 2 q s s = Dq + 1/ τ This ignores spin-spatial correlations embodied in DP spin relaxation!
9 D yakonov-perel relaxation and spin-spatial correlations Δ S S =Ω int τ S B int ( k) Each scattering event changes precession axis of spin Interrupted precession about effective field Analogous to motional narrowing 2 DP regime: Ωintτ 1 = Ωintτ τ 1 s
10 Perfect spin-spatial correlation in 1D z Ω int V Drift L = Ω 2π vf int x Relaxation of S z and S x are now coupled for nonzero q q c =Ω int /v F is crossover wavevector
11 Dispersion of coupled S z and S x relaxation modes Spin fluctuation with wavevector Ω int /v F has infinite lifetime!
12 Anomalous relaxation in 2-dimensions γ q τ s Γ + Dq 2 Γ Freitsov Burkov, Nunez, MacDonald Relaxation rate predicted to slow at critical wavevector, but not to zero qv F /Ω SO
