Electron-induced nuclear magnetic ordering in n -type semiconductors

Light-induced nuclear quadrupolar relaxation in semiconductors

Light excitation of a semiconductor, known to dynamically-polarize the nuclear spins by hyperfine contact interaction with the photoelectrons, also generates an intrinsic nuclear depolarization mechanism. This novel relaxation process arises from the modulation of the nuclear quadrupolar Hamiltonian by photoelectron trapping and recombination at nearby localized states. For nuclei near shallow ...

Electric field induced nuclear spin resonance mediated by oscillating electron spin domains in GaAs-based semiconductors.

We demonstrate an alternative nuclear spin resonance using a radio frequency (rf) electric field [nuclear electric resonance (NER)] instead of a magnetic field. The NER is based on the electronic control of electron spins forming a domain structure. The rf electric field applied to a gate excites spatial oscillations of the domain walls and thus temporal oscillations of the hyperfine field to n...

Magnetic field-induced ordering in SrDy2O4.

Heat capacity measurements were used to investigate the magnetic ordering processes in single-crystal samples of SrDy2O4 in a magnetic field applied along the [010] and [001] directions. In zero field this compound appears to be magnetically disordered down to at least 0.39 K. A magnetic field applied along the [010] direction induces a very sharp transition at 20 kOe, seen as a strong peak in ...

Magnetic, orbital and charge ordering in the electron-doped manganites

The three dimensional perovskite manganites R1−xAxMnO3 in the range of holedoping x > 0.5 are studied in detail using a double exchange model with degenerate eg orbitals including intraand inter-orbital correlations and near-neighbour Coulomb repulsion. We show that such a model captures the observed phase diagram and orbital-ordering in the intermediate to large band-width regime. It is argued...
