Summary
S.K. Saikin, Yu.V. Pershin, V.L. Privman. Modeling in semiconductor
spintronics.
In this paper we review theoretical methods utilized to investigate
spin dynamics in semi- conductor structures. In particular, we
consider drift-diffusion, kinetic transport equation and
Monte-Carlo simulation approaches applied for spin transport
modelling. Several examples of applications of these modelling
techniques are presented.
