Semiclassical Monte Carlo simulation studies of spin dephasing in InP and InSb nanowires

We use semiclassical Monte Carlo approach to investigate spin polarized transport in InP and InSb nanowires. D’yakonov-Perel (DP) relaxation and Elliott-Yafet (EY) relaxation are the two main relaxation mechanisms for spin dephasing in III-V channels. The DP relaxation occurs because of bulk invers...
