A spin-dependent emission of optically oriented electrons from p-GaAs(Cs,O) into vacuum was experimentally observed in a magnetic field normal to the surface. This phenomenon is explained within the model which takes into account the jump in the electron g factor at the semiconductor-vacuum interface. Due to this jump, the effective electron affinity on the semiconductor surface depends on the mutual direction of optically oriented electron spins and the magnetic field, resulting in the spin-dependent photoemission. It is demonstrated that the observed effect can be used for the determination of spin diffusion length in semiconductors.

The spin dependence of the photoelectron tunnel current from free standing GaAs films into out-of- plane magnetized Cobalt films is demonstrated. The measured spin asymmetry (A) resulting from a change in light helicity, reaches +/- 6% around zero ap
plied tunnel bias and drops to +/- 2% at a bias of -1.6 V applied to the GaAs. This decrease is a result of the drop in the photoelectron spin polarization that results from a reduction in the GaAs surface recombination velocity. The sign of A changes with that of the Cobalt magnetization direction. In contrast, on a (nonmagnetic) Gold film A ~ 0%.
A novel spin-spin coupling mechanism that occurs during the transport of spin-polarized minority electrons in semiconductors is described. Unlike the Coulomb spin drag, this coupling arises from the ambipolar electric field which is created by the di
fferential movement of the photoelectrons and the photoholes. Like the Coulomb spin drag, it is a pure spin coupling that does not affect charge diffusion. Experimentally, the coupling is studied in $p^+$ GaAs using polarized microluminescence. The coupling manifests itself as an excitation power dependent reduction in the spin polarization at the excitation spot textit{without} any change of the spatially averaged spin polarization.
We predict the existence of a torque acting on an isotropic neutral nanosphere activated by a static magnetic field when the particle temperature differs from the surrounding vacuum. This phenomenon originates in time-reversal symmetry breaking of th
e particle interaction with the vacuum electromagnetic field. We present a rigorous quantum treatment of photons and particle excitations that leads to a nonzero torque even in a motionless particle. We also find that the dynamical evolution of the particle temperature and rotation frequency follow an exotic dynamics, including spontaneous changes in the rotation direction. Magnetically activated thermal vacuum torques open a unique avenue for the investigation of the effect of time-reversal symmetry-breaking in thermal and Casimir physics.
We exploit ferromagnetic imprinting to create complex laterally defined regions of nuclear spin polarization in lithographically patterned MnAs/GaAs epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A time-resolved Kerr rotation microscope with approx
imately 1 micron spatial resolution uses electron spin precession to directly image the GaAs nuclear polarization. These measurements indicate that the polarization varies from a maximum under magnetic mesas to zero several microns from the mesa perimeter, resulting in large (10**4 T/m) effective field gradients. The results reveal a flexible scheme for lateral engineering of spin-dependent energy landscapes in the solid state.
The tunnel photocurrent between a gold surface and a free-standing semiconducting thin film excited from the rear by above bandgap light has been measured as a function of applied bias, tunnel distance and excitation light power. The results are comp
ared with the predictions of a model which includes the bias dependence of the tunnel barrier height and the bias-induced decrease of surface recombination velocity. It is found that i) the tunnel photocurrent from the conduction band dominates that from surface states. ii) At large tunnel distance the exponential bias dependence of the current is explained by that of the tunnel barrier height, while at small distance the change of surface recombination velocity is dominant.
