Spin transport and spin relaxation in semiconductor heterostructures with Rashba spin–orbit interaction
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: Spin diffusion equations, which also contain the coupling between spins and charges, are discussed for semiconductor heterostructures with Rashba spin–orbit interaction in the presence of an electric field. The diffusion equations are applied to an investigation of the decay of a homogeneous initial magnetization. A field induced precession, which is observable if the electric field exceeds a characteristic field, is obtained. Moreover, the impact of quantum corrections on the spin transport coefficients is discussed. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
