Description

An ensemble Monte Carlo approach has been used to simulate spin relaxation in GaAs devices. Effect of varying temperature and applied bias on spin relaxation time has been studied in n-type bulk GaAs. Our results show that the spin relaxation times are longer at low temperatures and that increasing the applied bias yields enhancement of the spin polarization in the system.
