Spin-Photogalvanics

  • Chapter
Spin Physics in Semiconductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 157))

Abstract

The spin of electrons and holes in solid state systems is an intensively studied quantum mechanical property showing a large variety of interesting physical phenomena. One of the most frequently used and powerful methods of generation and investigation of spin polarization is optical orientation [1]. Besides purely optical phenomena like circularly-polarized photoluminescence, the optical generation of an unbalanced spin distribution in a semiconductor may lead to spin photocurrents.
