IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, pubblicazioni, progetti, attività) adottato dall’Università di Palermo, e ha lo scopo di raccogliere, conservare, documentare, e diffondere ad accesso aperto le informazioni relative alla produzione scientifica degli autori afferenti all’Ateneo.
EnglishWe study the effect of the impurity density on lifetimes and relaxation lengths of electron spins in the presence of a static electric field in an n-type GaAs bulk. The transport of electrons and the spin dynamics are simulated by using a semiclassical Monte Carlo approach, which takes into account the intravalley scattering mechanisms of warm electrons in the semiconductor material. Spin relaxation is considered through the D’yakonov–Perel mechanism, which is the dominant mechanism in III–V semiconductors. The evolution of spin polarization is analyzed by computing lifetimes and depolarization lengths as a function of the doping density in the range 10^{13} - 5*10^{16} cm^{-3}, for different values of the amplitude of the static electric field (0.1 - 1.0 kV/cm). We find an increase of the electron spin lifetime as a function of the doping density, more evident for lattice temperatures lower than 150 K. Moreover, at very low intensities of the driving field, the spin depolarization length shows a nonmonotonic behaviour with the density. At the room temperature, spin lifetimes and depolarization lengths are nearly independent on the doping density. The underlying physics is analyzed.
