Rashba and Dresselhaus mean field vectors $H_R$ and $H_D$ , obtained by averaging over all particles in thin slices across the channel for a single Monte Carlo run ($V_G =0.9 V$, $V_D = 0.5 V$). The z-axis is in plane perpendicular to the channel but for the vector plots the axes have been rotated so that $H_z$ is in the vertical direction for visual clarity.
We augmented an ensemble Monte-Carlo semiconductor device simulator [3] to incorporate electron spin degrees of freedom using a Bloch equation model to investigate the feasibility of spintronic devices. Results are presented for the steady state polarization and polarization decay due to scattering and spin orbit coupling for a III-V MOSFET device as a function of gate voltages, injection polarization and strain.
Received 1 of 4 honourable mentions in the student poster competition.
