Abstract
GaN-based semiconductors attract much attention owing to the theoretically high Curie temperature of GaN-based diluted magnetic semiconductors and novel spin-orbit coupling(SOC) properties due to the strong polarization electric field. To overcome the conductance mismatch issue in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system, we take an ultrathin AlN layer at the hetero-interface as a barrier to form high-quality 2DEG in the triangular quantum well and a tunneling barrier for the spin injection. As for spin relaxation, owing to the canceled spin–orbit coupling (SOC), the spin relaxation time as long as 311 ps in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells is obtained at room temperature, being much longer than that in bulk GaN. Further, spin-polarized carrier transfer and spin relaxation processes in 2DEG of the InGaN/GaN QW were investigated by photon-energy dependent TRKR measurements.
