This relaxation slowdown appears in special waveguide diffusion modes which determine the propagation of spin density in long channels. Experiments are suggested to detect the theoretically predicted effects. A possible application is a field effect transistor operated with injected spin current.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-10-18T08:58:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dyakonov-perel", "narrow 2d semiconductor channels", "special waveguide diffusion modes", "field effect transistor", "spin relaxation rate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
