Identification of a dominant mechanism for optical spin injection from a diluted magnetic semiconductor : Spin-conserving energy transfer via localized excitations

• We provide compelling experimental evidence for a spin-conserving energy-transfer process via localized excitations as being responsible for the observed optical spin injection in ZnMnSe ZnCdSe quantum structures. We show that such a process is common and inherent to a diluted magnetic semiconductor because of strong potential fluctuations. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
