  • In order to research the effect of holes on the spin electron diffusion, a method of resonant spin amplication called Spin Concentration Grating(SCG) is adopt to observe the process of electron spin diffusion. Transient spin grating and spin concentration grating excited by femtosecond laser beams are used to investigate electron spin diffusion and electron spin ambipolar diffusion in intrinsic GaAs multiple quantum wells. The measured coefficient of electron spin ambipolar diffusion Das=25.4 cm2s-1 is lower than that of electron spin diffusion Ds=113.0 cm2s-1, which indicates that the influence of holes on electron spin diffusion in spin concentration grating is notable.
