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 …

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 …

Spintronics refers commonly to phenomena in which the spin of electrons in a solid state
environment plays the determining role. In a more narrow sense spintronics is an emerging …

In a two-dimensional electron gas as realized by a semiconductor quantum well, the
presence of spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba and Dresselhaus type leads to …

We develop a formalism for treating coherent wave-packet dynamics of charge and spin
carriers in degenerate and nearly degenerate bands. We consider the two-band case …

By viewing current in the detecting lead of a spintronic device as being an ensemble of
flowing spins corresponding to a mixed quantum state, where each spin itself is generally …

Spin injection and detection in silicon is a difficult problem, in part because the weak spin-
orbit coupling and indirect gap preclude using standard optical techniques. Two ways to …

We investigate the spin-Hall effect of both electrons and holes in semiconductors using the
Kubo formula in the correct zero-frequency limit taking into account the finite momentum …

We study electron states confined in two-dimensional circular quantum rings in the presence
of spin-orbit coupling due to both structure and crystal inversion asymmetry in the external …

The anticorrelation between quantum efficiency (QE) and electron spin polarization (ESP)
from a p-doped GaAs activated to negative electron affinity is studied in detail using an …
