The new field of semiconductor spintronics represents a possible
direction towards the development of hybrid devices that could
perform logic operations, communication and storage, within the
same material technology. This book provides a critical analysis of
the mechanisms responsible of spin relaxation and applied the Monte
Carlo method to investigate the significant case of electrons in
bulk GaAs. It includes the results obtained by Dr. Stefano Spezia
during his three-year Ph.D. in Applied Physics, under the
supervision of Prof. Dominique Persano Adorno, and in collaboration
with Dr. Nicola Pizzolato and Prof. Bernardo Spagnolo, at the
Department of Physics of the University of Palermo (Italy). The
prediction of an increase of the spin lifetime in the presence of
e-e scattering as well as at increasing lattice temperatures are
relevant results from both a fundamental and an applied point of
view. Also remarkable is the possibility to increase the spin
lifetime by the simultaneous application of high fields and an
external noise controlled by an extra fluctuating electric field.
The experimental validation of these achievements offers valuable
challenges to experimentalists.
