The creation of free excitons by absorption of circularly polarized photons, and their subsequent fast capture by donors, is at the origin of the spin polarization of donor-bound electrons. The sign of the electronic spin polarization at low density of excitation is, as expected, fixed by the helicity of the exciting light; but at high density of excitation we show that the spin polarization is of the opposite sign. This striking inversion is explained, here, by the contribution of dark excitons to mechanisms of spin polarization of localized electrons.

We show that spin polarization of electron density in nonmagnetic degenerate semiconductors can achieve 100%. This effect is realized in ferromagnet-semiconductor $FM-n^{+}$-$n$ junctions even at moderate spin selectivity of the $FM-n^{+}$ contact wh en the electrons are extracted from the heavily doped $n^{+}-$semiconductor into the ferromagnet. We derived a general equation relating spin polarization of the current to that of the electron density in nonmagnetic semiconductors. We found that the effect of the complete spin polarization is achieved near $n^{+}$-$n$ interface when an effective diffusion coefficient goes to zero in this region while the diffusion current remains finite.
In a strong magnetic field, ultra-relativistic electrons or positrons undergo spin flip transitions as they radiate, preferentially spin polarizing in one direction -- the Sokolov-Ternov effect. Here we show that this effect could occur very rapidly (in less than 10 fs) in high intensity ($Igtrsim10^{23}$ W/cm$^{2}$) laser-matter interactions, resulting in a high degree of electron spin polarization (70%-90%).
We experimentally demonstrate an ultrafast method for preparing spin states of donor-bound electrons in GaAs with single laser pulses. Each polarization state of a preparation pulse has a direct mapping onto a spin state, with bijective correspondenc e between the Poincar{e}-sphere (for photon polarization) and Bloch-sphere (for spin) state representations. The preparation is governed by a stimulated Raman process and occurs orders of magnitude faster than the spontaneous emission and spin dephasing. Similar dynamics governs our ultrafast optical Kerr detection of the spin coherence, thus getting access to spin state tomography. Experiments with double preparation pulses show an additive character for the preparation method. Utilization of these phenomena is of value for quantum information schemes.
Epitaxially grown intermetallic RFe2 (R = Dy, Er, Y) thin films have been studied by point contact Andreev reflection. Spin polarization values were extracted by fitting normalized conductance curves for mechanical Nb/RFe2 point contacts, using a mod ified Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) model. Good agreement is found between this model and the experimentally obtained data. Extracted values of spin polarization, which are close to the spin polarization of Fe, reveal no variation with the rare earth component for the measured intermetallic compounds. This suggests that using this technique we probe the Fe sub-lattice, and that this lattice drives spintronic effects in these compounds.
This paper shows that the presence of two dynamical regimes, characterized by different precessional-axis, is the origin of the non-monotonic behavior of the output integrated power for large-amplitude magnetization precession driven by spin-polarize d current in nanoscale exchange biased spin-valves. In particular, at the transition current between those two regimes exists an abruptly loss in the integrated output power. After the introduction of a time-frequency analysis of magnetization dynamics based on the wavelet transform, we performed a numerical experiment by means of micromagnetic simulations. Our results predicted that, together with a modulation of the frequency of the main excited mode of the magnetization precession, at high non-linear dynamical regime the instantaneous output power of the spin-torque oscillator can disappear and then reappear at nanosecond scale.
