Direct measurement of carrier spin relaxation times in opaque solids using the specular inverse Faraday effect

Direct measurement of carrier spin relaxation times in opaque solids using the specular inverse Faraday effect
Direct measurement of carrier spin relaxation times in opaque solids using the specular inverse Faraday effect
Using a spectroscopic technique based on the transient specular inverse Faraday effect (SIFE) we found the electron spin relaxation time in bulk GaAs at room temperature to be 11 ± 1 ps. The hole spin dynamics gives a SIFE signal of the opposite sign and may be resolved in the time-domain.

Abstract

Using a spectroscopic technique based on the transient specular inverse Faraday effect (SIFE) we found the electron spin relaxation time in bulk GaAs at room temperature to be 11 ± 1 ps. The hole spin dynamics gives a SIFE signal of the opposite sign and may be resolved in the time-domain.
