General information
One of the key challenges in modern spintronics is achieving the desired control of spin states and spin relaxation through tunable spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which forms the basis for spintronic devices. The aim of this project is to carry out a detailed theoretical investigation of phononmediated spin relaxation in core/shell nanostructures by taking into account the impact of phonon confinement. Furthermore, the study will take into account that the shape of the core/shell interface can significantly modify the SOC. It aims to partially fill in the existing gap connected with the interpretation of available experimental results. The study will be based on the calculations taking into account the sizes and shapes of heterostructures, and optoelectronic characteristics of constituent materials. The planned study of the dependences of spin relaxation time on external factors and characteristics of heterostructures (semiconductor or metallic) will reveal the possibilities of controlling spin relaxation processes, which is important from the point of view of improving spintronic devices based on core/shell nanostructures.
