Abstract
Semiconductor spintronics has open a research field devoted to the manipulation of the spin degree of freedom and the developing of electronic devices with energy conservation, low heat disspiation, and high operation speed. The studies of spin-based devices including spin injection, phase coherence and spin detection, are closely related to spin dynamics. Therefore, the research of spin dynamics in semiconductors is essential to the development of pratical spin-based electronic devices.
This thesis begins with the investigations on spin dynamics in bulk GaAs and gradually moves toward the dynamics in InAs/GaAs quantum rings in order to understand the difference of spin properties between macroscopic and mesoscopic materials. However, before the exploration on spin dynamics, we must fully understand the carrier dynamics in the same materials. Therefore, this thesis is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the carrier dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures, and the second part investigated the spin dynamics of bulk and semiconductor quantum rings.
In the first part, we investigate the carrier capture and relaxation processes in undoped and modulation-doped self-assembled InAs/GaAs QRs using time- resolved photoluminescence up-conversion spectroscopy with a time resolution of 200 fs. We find that carrier capture in the ground state and the excited states
of the charged QRs are faster in compared to the undoped rings even at a low excitation level. This is attributed to the presence of the build-in cold carriers in the charged rings, which lead to the accelerated carrier-carrier scattering and capturing of holes or electrons into the excited and ground states.
In the second part, we use a time-resolved photoluminescence polarization spectroscopy system to investigate the spin dynamics of electrons and holes in p-, n-, and undoped bulk GaAs. From the time-resolved polarization decay rate, we analyze the relative importance of spin relaxation mechanisms, including Elliott-Yafet (EY) model, D'yakonov-Perel (DP) model and Bir-Aronov-Pikus (BAP) model at room temperature for GaAs. We find that the spin relaxation time of the electrons is only on the order of a few tens of ps and the DP mechanism plays an important role for spin relaxation in bulk GaAs. In addition, the hole spin relaxation time is also determined with a rate of less than 300 fs. Finally, we study the spin dynamics in InAs/GaAs QRs in which a longer spin coherence time than the GaAs is predicted due to the three-dimensional quantum confinement. However, the spin relaxation time in excited and ground was found to be less than 1 ps. This is because that the carriers are excited above the barriers and they have to go through many cooling stages (such as, carrier- carrier, carrier-phonon, and inter-subband scatterings) before they can arrive at the excited or ground states in the ring, which leads to the observed ultrafast spin relaxation. The spin dynamics in quantum rings should be carefully re-examined by direct excitation of the carriers inside the rings.
