TLDR
In this article, an electron wave analog of the electro-optic light modulator is proposed, where magnetized contacts are used to preferentially inject and detect specific spin orientations.
Abstract
We propose an electron wave analog of the electro‐optic light modulator. The current modulation in the proposed structure arises from spin precession due to the spin‐orbit coupling in narrow‐gap semiconductors, while magnetized contacts are used to preferentially inject and detect specific spin orientations. This structure may exhibit significant current modulation despite multiple modes, elevated temperatures, or a large applied bias.

Hydrogen Control of Ferromagnetism in a Dilute Magnetic Semiconductor

TL;DR: It is shown that upon exposure to a remote dc hydrogen plasma, the magnetic and electronic properties of the dilute magnetic semiconductor Ga1-xMnxAs change qualitatively, while the density of Mn magnetic moments does not change.

Phonon-derived ultrafast relaxation of spin-valley polarized states in MoS_{2}

TL;DR: In this paper, the spin precession of an electron in the valley is sharply coupled with the lowest-lying optical phonon that release the in-plane mirror symmetry, which indicates that spin randomization of MoS 2 is mainly caused by spin-phonon interaction.

Electric-Field Control of Spin-Orbit Interaction for Low-Power Spintronics

TL;DR: This article provides a review of the current development including fundamental physics and experimental implementations of electric-field-controlled ferromagnetism in dilute magnetic semiconductors, voltage control of magnetic anisotropy, spin-orbit-torque-assisted magnetization switching, and antiferromagnetic (AFM) material-based spin- orbitronic systems.

Oscillatory effects and the magnetic susceptibility of carriers in inversion layers

TL;DR: In this paper, the spin-orbit interaction Hamiltonian HSO = alpha ( sigma *k) was used to change the usual patterns of B-1-periodic oscillations; some oscillations are strongly suppressed due to the diminishing of the gaps between adjacent levels and new oscillations appear due to intersections of levels.

Coupling of electronic charge and spin at a ferromagnetic-paramagnetic metal interface.

TL;DR: A new technique to measure conduction electron relaxation times is described, using nonequilibrium magnetization present in a paramagnetic metal can be detected as an open circuit voltage across an interface between the paramagnet and a ferromagnet.

Spin splitting in semiconductor heterostructures for B-->0.

TL;DR: This work shows for AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures how this finite spin splitting at B=0 evolves from the Zeeman splitting for B\ensuremath{ e}0 and predicts a vanishingspin splitting at a finite -magnetic- field \char22{}, which depends on the electron concentration in the inversion layer.

On the possibility of transistor action based on quantum interference phenomena

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study of quantum interference phenomena in a T-shaped semiconductor structure is presented, and the results resemble the well-known solutions for the electromagnetic field in waveguides with the main difference that penetration of the wave function of the electrons can be controlled by external voltages.
