Abstract

A transient response of nuclear spins in GaAs to a change in a magnetic field was analyzed based on the time evolution of nuclear spin temperature. Simulation results well reproduced our experimental results on transient oblique Hanle signals observed in an all-electrical spin injection device, enabling a quantitative understanding of nuclear spin dynamics in the presence of a hyperfine interaction between nuclei and polarized electrons. Analysis regarding the time evolution of nuclear spin temperature revealed that the hysteretic nature of a nuclear field with respect to the sweep direction of an external field was caused by the delay of time response of nuclear spin temperature to a change in the magnetic field. This analysis provides a deep understanding of nuclear spin dynamics in semiconductors.
