Spin-Hall effect and spin-Coulomb drag in doped semiconductors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review, we describe in detail two important spin-transport phenomena: the extrinsic spin-Hall effect (coming from spin-orbit interactions between electrons and impurities) and the spin-Coulomb drag. The interplay of these two phenomena is analyzed. In particular, we discuss the influence of scattering between electrons with opposite spins on the spin current and the spin accumulation produced by the spin-Hall effect. Future challenges and open questions are briefly discussed.

Observing the spin Coulomb drag in spin-valve devices
The Coulomb interaction between electrons of opposite spin orientations in a metal or in a doped semiconductor results in a negative off-diagonal component of the electrical resistivity matrix—the so-called “spindrag resistivity.” It is generally quite difficult to separate the spin-drag contribution from more conventional mechanisms of resistivity. In this paper I discuss two methods to accomp...

We study the homogeneous interacting hole gas in p-doped bulk III-V semiconductors. The structure of the valence band is modelled by Luttinger’s Hamiltonian in the spherical approximation, giving rise to heavy and light hole dispersion branches, and the Coulomb repulsion is taken into account via a self-consistent Hartree-Fock treatment. As a nontrivial feature of the model, the self-consistent...

متن کاملSpin diffusion in doped semiconductors: the role of Coulomb interactions
– We examine the effect of Coulomb interaction on the mobility and diffusion of spin packets in doped semiconductors. We find that the diffusion constant is reduced, relative to its non-interacting value, by the combined effect of Coulomb-enhanced spin susceptibility and spin Coulomb drag. In ferromagnetic semiconductors, the spin diffusion constant vanishes at the ferromagnetic transition temp...
متن کاملSurface transport and quantum Hall effect in ambipolar black phosphorus double quantum wells
Quantum wells (QWs) constitute one of the most important classes of devices in the study of two-dimensional (2D) systems. In a double-layer QW, the additional "which-layer" degree of freedom gives rise to celebrated phenomena, such as Coulomb drag, Hall drag, and exciton condensation. We demonstrate facile formation of wide QWs in few-layer black phosphorus devices that host double layers of ch...
