摘要
This study investigates the spin relaxation of GaN-based light-emitting diodes with an MnZnO film by examining its photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved magnetization modulation photoluminescence. PL measurements reveal that the application of a magnetic field produced a clear difference between the intensities of the right (sigma(+)) and left (sigma(-)) circular polarization components. The circular polarization was identified as P-circ=[I(sigma(+)) - I(sigma(-))]/[I(sigma(+))] + [I(sigma(-))]. where I(sigma(+)) and I(sigma-)are the intensities of the sigma(+) and sigma(-) components, respectively. The PL polarization was 3.6% in a 0.5 T magnetic field. In a magnetic field, the photo-ionized lifetime and spin-polarized lifetime values were approximately 13.64 and 54.54 ns, respectively. The right-circular-spin-polarization lifetime and the left-circular-spin-polarization lifetime values were about 39.09 and 40.01 ns, respectively. (C) 2010 Elsevier BM. All rights reserved.
