Carrier spin dynamics inCdTe/Cd1x

Abstract: We investigated the carrier spin dynamics in diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum wells, CdTe/Cd 1Ϫx Mn x Te (xϷ0.35), using femtosecond time-resolved circular dichroic spectroscopy. When the heavy-hole exciton was resonantly excited by the circularly polarized laser pulse, the positive and negative circular dichroism appeared at the heavy-hole-and the light-hole-exciton energy, respectively. They decay with different time constants, from which we succeeded in determining the spin dynamics of electrons separ… Show more

“…In II-VI DMS electron spin relaxation is much faster than in the corresponding nonmagnetic host, as expected because of the strong random exchange fields created by the magnetic atoms (see Sect. 13.6) [87,118]. Note that in Voigt geometry the measured precession frequency gives a clear signature of the spins which are being observed, provided that their effective g-factors are known.…”

“…The hh spin can immediately be relaxed via band mixing with lh. Also, the hh spin can relax through p-d exchange interaction with Mn-spins in the DMS barrier [7], since the hh wave function significantly spreads due to the low-energy barrier in high fields. The electron spin relaxation time is rather slower as 500 ps in the present QW.…”
