Spin-filtering effect in GaAsN: electron-nuclear spin dynamics of Ga3+ centers
Abstract
The impact of Ga3+ centers in the spin-filtering effect observed in GaAsN samples is investigated through a model based on the master equation approach. Our results, compared with experimental data, show that, Ga3+ are essential to understanding the behavior of the photoluminescence intensity and degree of circular polarization as functions of a Faraday configuration magnetic field. The model presented here takes into account the interplay of Ga2+ and Ga3+ centers, Zeeman and hyperfine interaction. The various processes that drive the spin-filtering effect, as the spin selective capture of conduction band electrons into Ga centers are also considered here.
