利用时间分辨克尔旋转(Time-Resolved Kerr Rotation, TRKR)光谱技术研究了纤锌矿n-CdS(n型掺杂)(0001)面单晶在不同温度、不同波长下的电子自旋相干动力学. 发现低温下该材料存在两种电子自旋信号: 一种是在较长泵浦探测波长下存在的长寿命自旋信号, 低温5 K时其自旋退相位时间长达4.8 ns, 随着温度的升高不断减小; 另一种为较短泵浦探测波长下存在的短寿命自旋信号, 其自旋退相位时间约为40 ps, 可以持续到室温, 该自旋信号几乎不受温度的影响. 研究表明, 长寿命自旋信号来自于局域电子, 而短寿命自旋信号来自于导带自由电子.

In this paper, we use time-resolved Kerr rotation(TRKR) spectroscopy to study the electron spin coherence dynamics of a wurtzite (0001) plane n-CdS single crystal at different temperatures and wavelengths. Two types of electronic spin signals are observed in this material at low temperatures. One is a long-lived spin signal at relatively long pump probe wavelengths, where the spin dephasing time exceeds 4.8 ns at 5 K and decreases with increasing temperature. The other is a short-lived spin signal at relatively short pump probe wavelengths, where the spin dephasing time is about 40 ps and persists up to room temperature; in this case, the spin signal is largely independent of temperature. Studies have shown that long-lived spin signals can be attributed to localized electrons, while short-lived spin signals can be attributed to conduction delocalized electrons.
