Kinetic theory of spin dependent transport with strong spin-orbit scattering

半导体中自旋动力学的理论描述需要一个强自旋轨道耦合的输运理论。非常成功的是半经典方法，如玻尔兹曼方程，以及--特别是在简并电子系统中--所谓的准经典格林函数。在这个项目中，这些方法将被应用于诸如电压诱导的自旋积累、自旋霍尔效应、自旋退相和自旋弛豫等问题。

The theoretical description of spin dynamics in semiconductors necessitates a transport theory for strong spin-orbit coupling. Very successful are semiclassical approaches like the Boltzmann equation and – in particular in degenerate electron systems – the so-called quasiclassical Green’s functions. In this project these approaches will be applied to questions like voltage induced spin accumulation, spin-Hall effect, spin dephasing and spin relaxation.
