Electric field enhanced electron spin coherence is characterized using time-resolved Faraday rotation spectroscopy in n-type ZnO epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. An in-plane dc electric field E almost doubles the transverse spin lifetime at 20 K, without affecting the effective g-factor. This effect persists till high temperatures, but decreases with increasing carrier concentration. Comparisons of the variations in the spin lifetime, the carrier recombination lifetime and photoluminescence lifetimes indicate that the applied E enhances the radiative recombination rate. All observed effects are independent of crystal directionality and are performed at low magnetic fields (B < 0.2 T).

In this paper, the reported experimental data in [Sci. Rep., 2012, 2, 533] related to electrical transport properties in bulk ZnO, ZnMgO/ZnO, and ZnMgO/ZnO/ZnMgO single and double heterostructures were analyzed quantitatively and the most important s cattering parameters for controlling electron concentration and electron mobility were obtained. Treatment of intrinsic mechanisms included polar-optical phonon scattering, piezoelectric scattering and acoustic deformation potential scattering. For extrinsic mechanisms, ionized impurity, dislocation scattering, and strain-induced fields were included. For bulk ZnO, the reported experimental data were corrected for removing the effects of a degenerate layer at the ZnO/sapphire interface via a two layer Hall effect model. Also, donor density, acceptor density and donor activation energy were determined via the charge balance equation. This sample exhibited hopping conduction below 50K and dislocation scattering closely controlled electron mobility closely. The obtained results indicated that the enhancement of electron mobility in double sample, compared with the single one, can be attributed to the reduction of dislocation density, two dimensional impurity density in the potential well due to background impurities, and/or interface charge and strain-induced fields, which can be related to better electron confinement in the channel and enhancement in the sheet carrier concentration of 2DEG in this sample.

We propose a scheme to manipulate the spin coherence in vertically coupled GaAs double quantum dots. Up to {em ten} orders of magnitude variation of the spin relaxation and {em two} orders of magnitude variation of the spin dephasing can be achieved by a small gate voltage applied vertically on the double dot. Specially, large variation of spin relaxation still exists at 0 K. In the calculation, the equation-of-motion approach is applied to obtain the electron decoherence time and all the relevant spin decoherence mechanisms, such as the spin-orbit coupling together with the electron--bulk-phonon scattering, the direct spin-phonon coupling due to the phonon-induced strain, the hyperfine interaction and the second-order process of electron-phonon scattering combined with the hyperfine interaction, are included. The condition to obtain the large variations of spin coherence is also addressed.
We implanted ultra low doses (2x10^11 cm-2) of 121Sb ions into isotopically enriched 28Si and find high degrees of electrical activation and low levels of dopant diffusion after rapid thermal annealing. Pulsed Electron Spin Resonance shows that spin echo decay is sensitive to the dopant depths, and the interface quality. At 5.2 K, a spin decoherence time, T2, of 0.3 ms is found for profiles peaking 50 nm below a Si/SiO2 interface, increasing to 0.75 ms when the surface is passivated with hydrogen. These measurements provide benchmark data for the development of devices in which quantum information is encoded in donor electron spins.
The electron spin dynamics in (111)-oriented GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells is studied by timeresolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. By applying an external field of 50 kV/cm a two-order of magnitude increase of the spin relaxation time can be observed reaching values larger than 30 ns; this is a consequence of the electric field tuning of the spin-orbit conduction band splitting which can almost vanish when the Rashba term compensates exactly the Dresselhaus one. The measurements under transverse magnetic field demonstrate that the electron spin relaxation time for the three space directions can be tuned simultaneously with the applied electric field.
The structure-property relation of nanostructured Al-doped ZnO thin films has been investigated in detail through a systematic variation of structure and morphology, with particular emphasis on how they affect optical and electrical properties. A var iety of structures, ranging from compact polycristalline films to mesoporous, hierarchically organized cluster assemblies, are grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition at room temperature at different oxygen pressures. We investigate the dependence of functional properties on structure and morphology and show how the correlation between electrical and optical properties can be studied to evaluate energy gap, conduction band effective mass and transport mechanisms. Understanding these properties opens the way for specific applications in photovoltaic devices, where optimized combinations of conductivity, transparency and light scattering are required.
