In low-dimensional systems dynamical nuclear polarization is a sensitive tool for the study of electron-nuclear interaction. We report on Overhauser-shift experiments on the PDEG of AI,Ga,.,As/GaAs heterostructures. The conduction electron spin resonance has been electrically detected via the associated change of the magnetoresistance R,,, and dynamical nuclear polarization (the Overhauser elfect) has been achieved by saturating the conduction electron spin resonance (CESR). In order to investigate the nuclear spin relaxation the samples were embedded in an RF coil and the temporal decay of the Overhauser shift was followed with and without additional NMR irradiation. Different spin-lanice relaxation times of '*Ga, "Ga and "As could be detected and small deviations from a pure Korringa behaviour have been found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
