摘要
Magnetic semiconductors such as Ga1-xMnxAs have attracted a great interest in the last years due to their high potential as advanced-performance materials in optical detection and in novel spintronic devices. The carrier dynamics and the nonlinear optical response in low-temperature-grown GaAs/Ga1-xMnxAs heterostructures represent an interesting topic much less explored than their electronic transport and/or structural studies. We report our optical investigations of Ga1-xMnxAs films, grown with different Mn concentrations and subject to annealing conditions, by time-resolved, femtosecond pump-probe, differential reflectivity measurements. The analysis of the carrier relaxation times at low temperatures is presented and discussed according to nonequilibrium theories for electron scattering in magnetic materials.
